Here are some easy methods to assist you to get the most longevity out of your blooms if you’ve received flowers from a reputable florist.

Prepare a vase with fresh, tepid water and add the provided flower food. If you haven’t received flower food, it means that your particular blooms don’t need any. To ensure that every stem in your bouquet will be able to receive water, take away all of the wrappings and recut each stem at a 45-degree angle with a pair of sharp scissors. Keep your flowers away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

Please trim your stems again and replace the water in your vase every two to three days for the best vase life.

The flower foods that come with your bouquet are energy packets that release energy slowly and are designed for a variety of flowers. Additionally, they will aid in slowing the growth of bacteria in the water.
