Flower Care Tips
- Watering:
It's important to keep the flowers hydrated. Please keep a clean vase with water and make sure to change the water every two or three days. Also, check the water level regularly and top it up as needed, especially in warm weather. - Trimming and Pruning:
To maintain the arrangement's freshness, trim the stems every few days. Use a sharp pair of scissors or floral shears to cut about an inch off the bottom of the stems at a diagonal angle. This helps the flowers absorb water more efficiently. - Removing Foliage:
Remove any leaves or foliage that will be submerged in water. This prevents the growth of bacteria, which can shorten the lifespan of the flowers. - Temperature and Placement:
Place the flower arrangement in a cool spot away from direct sunlight, as excessive heat can wilt the flowers. Avoid placing them near drafts or heating vents as well. - Flower Food:
If your arrangement comes with flower food, follow the instructions provided. These packets contain nutrients that can prolong the life of the flowers. Dissolve the packet in water before adding it to the vase. - Maintaining Cleanliness:
Regularly remove any wilted or damaged flowers to prevent the spread of bacteria. Also, clean the vase thoroughly with warm, soapy water before refilling it with fresh water. - Handling with Care:
When moving or transporting the arrangement, support the vase from the bottom to prevent any damage to the stems or petals. Avoid squeezing or crushing the flowers.
Remember, different flowers have varying lifespans and care requirements. Some blossoms may last longer than others, so it's important to research specific care instructions for each type of flower in your arrangement.
