Keeping your flowers fresh doesn’t have to be difficult. With a few small steps, you can help your arrangement last as long as possible and look its best. Here are some simple care tips that make the biggest difference.
Give the Stems a Fresh Cut
When you first receive your flowers, trim the stems at a slight angle. This helps them absorb more water and stay hydrated.
Use Clean, Cool Water
Replace the vase water every one to two days. Fresh water slows bacterial growth and keeps flowers looking brighter.
Keep Flowers Away From Heat
Avoid placing arrangements near vents, space heaters, or direct sunlight. Cooler areas help flowers stay fresh much longer.
Remove Wilted Stems
If a bloom begins to wilt, remove it. This prevents bacteria from spreading to the rest of the arrangement.
Plants Need Care Too
If your gift was a plant, keep it in the right light and water it gently and consistently. Green plants and blooming plants thrive with steady care.
