How do I take care of my flowers once they are delivered?
If your flowers came in plastic wrapping, you would want to remove the plastic as soon as possible. This will allow the flowers to breathe. Secondly, you will want to give fresh water to your flowers to provide hydration. Place bouquets in a vase of appropriate size or fill your current vase with fresh water. If you need to, you can trim the stem’s ends to fit a vase you have. We recommend cutting flower stems at an angle with a sharp knife.
Position flowers in cool areas away from harsh temperatures, direct sunlight, and drafts to prevent wilting. Keep them clear of fruit and smoke, as ethylene gas from these sources can shorten their lifespan.
- For vase arrangements, keep your vase filled with water. This allows the plants to drink the water they need and provides them hydration.
- For basket arrangements, we suggest still adding daily fresh water to your flowers.
- Replace cloudy water with fresh and clean the vase with soapy water to eliminate bacteria before refilling and reinserting flowers. Rinse well.
- As wilting leaves or stems occur, remove the strongly wilted contents to allow the fresher parts to be the center of attention.
- Trim stems at an angle with a sharp knife, not scissors, to enhance water uptake and prevent damage that could impair absorption.
