Flower Care

You can generally expect your flowers to last 4-7 days provided they are cared for correctly.

5 general steps that will help your flowers to last as long as possible: 

    1. Stems should be cut on an angle (in or under running water if possible) as soon as you receive the flowers and placed into a vase full of fresh water.
    2. Ensure the vase that is used is clean and filled full with fresh water
    3. Always keep an eye on the water levels and change the water completely every two days
    4. Keep the flowers out of direct sunlight
    5. Avoid placing your flowers directly under a fan or heater; flowers are sensitive to extreme hot or cold temperatures.

For Foam base arrangements
Keep in cool area and away from direct sun.
Add water to foam daily to keep flowers hydrated.
 

For Vase arrangements
Keep in cool area and away from direct sun.
Refill water if needed to ensure all stems are touching the water.
Change water after 3 days or when water turns cloudy.
When changing water, re-cut flower stems by 2-3cm before placing back in water.

Handy tips on how to care for some of our favourite blooms

  • Hydrangea

    Hydrangeas take in water from their petals, so it’s important to gently mist these once per day. If their flowers start to wilt, flip them upside down and soak the petal end of the flowers in cold water for a 3-4 hours.

  • Tulips

    Tulips tend to welt in the heat; they are best displayed in a cool area to maximise their longevity. If you spot any white ends on their stems, simply snip them off with scissors – it’ll help them drink water more easily.

  • Roses

    Sensitive to bacteria, it’s important to keep roses in clean vases with fresh water. Roses last longer in a cool area, but to entice them to open up a little quicker, temporarily place them in a warmer spot for six to eight hours
