Fresh Flower Bouquet
1.Remove all packaging from the bouquet within a day of receiving it.
2.Thoroughly clean your vase, then fill it two-thirds with clean, room-temperature water and mix in flower food as directed.
3.Strip any leaves from the stems that will sit below the waterline to prevent debris and bacterial growth.
4.Trim the stems 2cm from the bottom at a 45-degree angle using sharp scissors. Do this daily to enhance water uptake.
5.Replenish the water daily and replace it immediately if it becomes cloudy.
6.Avoid placing flowers in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or close to fruit, which can all hasten wilting. Flowers last longer in cool, shaded environments like air-conditioned rooms.
7.Discard any wilted flowers promptly to prevent bacteria from spreading to healthy blooms.
8.Avoid spraying water directly on the petals, particularly roses, as moisture can cause them to wilt more quickly.
