Flower Care

For Longer Lasting Arrangements

​

Fresh Cut Flowers 

Here are a few tips for keeping your flowers looking fresh and beautiful.

​

• Clean your vase with dishwashing liquid and rinse thoroughly.

• Fill half to two-thirds of the vase with warm water. 

• Remove any leaves that may be submerged in water. 

• Recut the stems on a 45 degree angle and trim every couple of days.

• Change the water every day or two. 

• Ensure all the flower stems are submerged in water.

• Most flowers last longer in mild temperatures, so don’t place on windowsills in direct sunlight.

• Keep flowers away from ripening fruit. Fruits produce ethylene, which tells a plant to ripen, and that will shorten the life span of your flowers.

• Remove any wilting flowers as they appear. 

​

Dried Flowers 

• Keep flowers away from direct sunlight. This can cause the petals and colouring to fade.

• Keep flowers in a dry, cool area. 

• Do not get flowers wet. 

• Keep flowers free from dust. Use a low cool setting on a hair dryer to help remove dust.
