To ensure the longevity and beauty of your flower arrangement, here are some simple care tips to follow:
- Water: Check the water level in the vase daily and replenish it as needed. Use room temperature water and avoid overfilling. Keep the vase about two-thirds full.
- Trimming: Trim the stems at a 45-degree angle with a sharp, clean pair of scissors or floral shears before placing them in water. This allows for better water absorption.
- Remove foliage: Remove any leaves or foliage that will be submerged in water. This helps prevent bacterial growth and keeps the water cleaner.
- Placement: Find a suitable spot for your arrangement, away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources. Excessive heat can cause the flowers to wilt prematurely.
- Change water regularly: Every two to three days, change the water completely. Rinse the vase and trim the stems again before placing them back in fresh water. This helps maintain water clarity and prevents the growth of bacteria.
- Remove wilted flowers: Remove any flowers that have wilted or decayed to keep the arrangement looking fresh and vibrant.
- Flower food: If a packet of flower food is provided with your arrangement, follow the instructions on the packet to mix it with the water. Flower food provides nutrients to the flowers and helps extend their lifespan.
