How Do I Care for My Bouquet? How Do I Keep My Flowers Fresh?Updated 17 days ago

 

Unboxing:

  • Remove flowers from the box and unwrap

  • Fill a clean vase with water and flower food packet, if included (some flowers do not need flower food)

Flower Food:

  • Follow packet instructions; you don't need the entire packet

  • Tulips and bulb flowers generally don't need flower food

Maintenance Tips:

  • Replace water every day for a longer vase life.

  • Trim stems at a 45-degree angle; remove excess foliage that falls below the water line

  • Use a sharp knife or floral shears; avoid kitchen scissors.

  • Place stems in water immediately after cutting.

  • Keep your arrangement away from heat, direct sunlight, and ripening produce

Ethylene Gas Warning:

  • Keep bouquets away from ripening produce or other flowers. These release ethylene gas and can accelerate wilting.

Maintenance Routine:

  • Remove spent blooms to prolong vase life.

  • Top up and check the water regularly; replace if cloudy.

  • Keep it simple: Trim stems and maintain clean water.

Additional Tips:

  • Our Happiness team is available 24/7 for any questions.
