Flower Care & Handling 

Follow these Flower Care tips for your newly freshly delivered floral arrangement for long-lasting results! 

 

 

 

Caring for Flowers purchased in Vase or Other Container 

  • Flowers Love A Cooler Climate-display your blooms in a cooler temperature area of your space! 
  • Keep fresh flowers away from drafts and extreme temperatures, which can quickly dry out the flowers causing wilting.
  • Do not place your arrangement near fruit or in the path of cigarette smoke as it releases ethylene gas which can cause flowers to wilt. 
  • Placing flower arrangements on windowsills and other areas with full sun is not recommended and may cause wilting.
  • Keep your vase filled with water! All flower/ foliage stems should be submerged this way they will last longer. 
  • If your flowers came in a basket or other hat box, or container with foam, add fresh water every day.
  • Immediately remove dead or wilting leaves and stems from fresh flower arrangements.
  • Refill water as it gets muddy or cloudy.

Caring for a Fresh Bouquet

  • After carefully unwrapping your bouquet, clean the vase thoroughly with soapy water to remove any bacteria that could cause the fresh flowers to wilt. 
  • Replace the water and mix in the flower preservative provided.
  • For best results, cut stems at an angle about one to two inches from the bottom. 
  • Place loose stems or wrapped bouquets of fresh flowers in your water mixture as soon as possible.
