8 Easy Care Tips for your Fresh Cut Flowers
Visit our Online Shop to pre-order your weekly bouquet deliveries today!
So you received a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Lucky you! But now what? How can you keep these babies alive as long as possible? Where should you put them?!
My MOST important recommendation: display your flowers in a meaningful place — a place you’ll be able to greet them day in and day out. Below are a few suggestions to keep your blooms lasting through another week of quarantine at home.
STEP BY STEP FRESH FLOWER CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Find a clean vase that gives your bouquet plenty of room to breathe and move around
Fill your vase with room temperature water
Remove any leaves or foliage on your stems that fall below the water line
Give stems a fresh, sharp cut at an angle
Immediately place all stems in water so they can begin drinking up
Give stems a fresh cut and change the water every 2 days
Remove any flowers that are past their prime as the week goes on to eliminate added bacteria
Keep your flowers away from that drafty window, direct sunlight, or extreme temps, as well as things like your compost bucket or fruit bowl — those emit tiny little gases that will shorten the lifespan of your flowers
With proper care, fresh cut flowers can last 1-2 weeks on average.
