As soon as you get your flower bouquet, we recommend trimming the ends of the stems before you put them into water. This will help the flowers to suck up more water! Cut about 1-2 inches off the bottom of the stems and cut the stem at an angle. Make sure you use garden shears or sharp scissors, as a blunt edge can damage the stem’s cells and make it harder for the flowers to soak up water. 

On top of this, you should also remove any dead leaves and petals regularly, and any leaves below the water line to prevent the growth of bacteria.

KEEP YOUR FLOWERS AWAY FROM HEAT & BRIGHT LIGHT

Unlike plants, freshly cut flowers don’t need sunlight! So make sure to keep your floral arrangement away from any windows as the sun and heat will make the flowers “mature” faster. We also recommend keeping them away from any drafts, cooling vents and other sources of heating too, as these will dry out your flowers.
