Start with fresh water
Top up the vessel every day and replace the water completely every two days. Use a clean vase and remove any leaves below the water line.
Caring for your flowers
A few simple habits will help your arrangement stay fresh, open beautifully, and last as long as possible.
Give stems a trim
Recut loose bouquet stems at an angle with clean, sharp snips before placing them in water. Trim them again whenever you change the water.
Choose a cool place
Keep flowers away from direct sun, heaters, drafts, and ripening fruit. A bright, cool room without strong sunlight is ideal.
Let the arrangement evolve
Remove individual blooms as they fade and move remaining stems into a smaller vessel. Different varieties naturally open and age at different speeds.
