1. Water level for Flowers
Check the Water Level to ensure the vase is filled with water to the level of the floral foam.
2. Arranging Flowers
Gently adjust any flower(s) that may have shifted during transportation, and restore their original design.
3. Best Location for Flowers
Place your flowers in a cool environment with mild humidity, free from direct sunlight and drafts. Stay clear fruits that produce etheline gas that speeds wilting.
4. Water Levels for Flowers:
Monitor water levels daily, ensuring all stems are submerged up to 4 inches maximum. Change the water every 2-3 Days. If loose flowers, empty the vase, clean it with mild soap, refilling with fresh tap water to prevent bacteria buildup that shortens the lifespan of flowers.
5. Caring for Fresh Cut Flowers
If you received a free style arrangement or a bouquet of fresh cutflowers without a vase, trim the stems every 2-3 days.
Remove any foliage below the waterline as leaves submerged in water can rot, promoting bacterial growth. Remove wilted blooms and rearrange stems that may have shifter to maintain a balanced and appealing bouquet.
6. Feeding fresh Flowers
Feed Your Flowers. You may use a professional floral preservative or make your own home recipe using a teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of vinegar to mimic commercial flower food.
7. Know When to Say Goodbye
Even with the best care, floral arrangements have a natural lifespan. When the time comes, consider preserving the blooms by drying or pressing them for keepsakes.
By following these simple steps, you can extend the life of your floral arrangement and enjoy its beauty for days longer!
