How to Take Care of a Bouquet
Receiving a fresh bouquet of flowers is always a delight! To keep them looking beautiful for as long as possible, follow these simple steps:
1. Unwrap Your Bouquet
Carefully remove the wrapping from your flowers. If the stems are tied together, keep them that way for now to maintain the bouquet’s shape.
2. Choose the Right Vase
Pick a vase that suits the size of your bouquet. A vase that’s too small will crowd the stems, while a vase that’s too large may make the arrangement look sparse.
3. Fill the Vase with Water & Preservative
Use lukewarm water, as it helps flowers absorb moisture more easily. Add the flower preservative that came with your order to nourish your blooms and prevent bacteria growth.
4. Arrange Your Flowers
Trim about 1-2 cm off each stem at an angle before placing them in the vase. This helps them absorb water better. Arrange them as you like to achieve the perfect look.
5. Change the Water Every Two Days
Fresh water keeps your flowers vibrant. Every two days, empty the vase, rinse it, and refill it with clean lukewarm water mixed with flower preservative.
6. Remove Wilting Leaves & Petals
Keep an eye on your bouquet and remove any wilting leaves or petals. This prevents bacteria from spreading and keeps your flowers looking fresh for longer.
7. Keep Your Flowers in the Right Spot
Place your bouquet in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, drafts, and extreme heat. Avoid placing them near fruit, as ripening fruit releases gases that can make flowers wilt faster.
