Flower Aftercare: How to keep your flowers fresher for longer.
You have just brought home one of our gorgeous bouquets- now lets make sure it stays fresh and vibrant for as long as possible.
Follow our simple steps to give your flowers the best care:
Unwrap with care-
As soon as you get your flowers home, remove any packaging, string and let them breathe.
Trim the stems-
Using clean, sharp secateurs, cut 1-2cm off each stem at a 45’ angle. This helps them to absorb water more effectively. Re-trim every couple of days to keep them drinking well.
Clean Vase, Fresh water-
Always use a thoroughly cleaned vase to prevent bacteria. Fill it with fresh lukewarm water. Change the water ever 2-3 days.
Remove lower leaves-
Make sure there are no leaves below the waterline. Clean stems= clean water.
Perfect Spot, not too hot-
Keep your flowers in a cool place away from direct sunlight or radiators.
Keep an eye on them-
Remove any wilting flowers or leaves to stop the mould spreading. Top up the water and enjoy the evolving beauty of your arrangement.
