Ways to Keep Your Flowers Fresh, Beautiful, and Long-Lasting
Caring for Your Fresh-Cut Flowers
Trim the stems: Cut about ¼ inch off the ends of the stems at an angle to help them hydrate more efficiently.
Strip the lower leaves: Remove any foliage that will sit below the water line to prevent bacterial growth.
Start fresh: Place your flowers in a clean vase filled with cool, fresh water.
Refresh regularly: Change the water and re-trim the stems every 1–2 days to keep blooms looking their best.
Choose the right spot: Keep your arrangement out of direct sunlight, away from heat, and separate from ripening fruit.
Maintain beauty: Remove any wilted or fading stems promptly to extend the life of your bouquet.
Enjoy the beauty—your blooms are just getting started!
