At Keep Blooming Flower Boutique, we want your beautiful floral arrangements to last as long as possible. Follow these simple steps to ensure your flowers stay fresh and vibrant:
1. Trim the Stems
Upon receiving your flowers, use sharp scissors or pruning shears to trim 1-2 cm off the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle. This allows the flowers to absorb more water and stay hydrated.
2. Remove Lower Leaves
Remove any leaves that will be submerged in water. Leaves in the water can promote bacteria growth, which shortens the life of your flowers.
3. Use Clean Water and Vase
Place your flowers in a clean vase filled with room-temperature water. Be sure to add the flower food packet that came with your bouquet. This helps nourish the flowers and extend their life.
4. Change Water Regularly
Refresh the water in the vase every 2-3 days. Each time you change the water, trim the stems slightly and clean the vase to prevent bacteria buildup.
5. Keep Flowers in a Cool Spot
Place your arrangement in a cool area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or drafts. Avoid placing flowers near ripening fruits, as they release ethylene gas that can cause flowers to wilt faster.
6. Avoid Crowding Flowers
Ensure your flowers have enough space to breathe and bloom fully. Avoid overcrowding them in a vase, which can cause wilting and reduce their lifespan.
7. Remove Wilting Flowers
As individual flowers begin to wilt or fade, remove them from the arrangement to prevent bacteria from spreading to the healthier blooms.
By following these tips, your flowers will maintain their beauty for as long as possible, brightening your space and bringing joy to your home!
