1. Trim the Stems
As soon as your flowers arrive, give the stems a fresh diagonal cut (about an inch from the bottom). This helps them absorb water more efficiently and prevents bacteria from building up at the base.
2. Use a Clean Vase
Always start with a clean vase filled with fresh, cool water. Dirty containers can harbor bacteria that shorten your flowers’ lifespan.
3. Feed Your Flowers
If we included a flower food packet with your bouquet, be sure to use it! It helps nourish the blooms and keep the water cleaner longer.
4. Keep Them Cool
Avoid placing your flowers in direct sunlight, near heaters, or close to fruit bowls (ripening fruit releases ethylene gas, which can make flowers wilt faster).
5. Refresh Daily
Every day or two, change the water, re-trim the stems, and remove any wilting blooms or leaves below the waterline. This keeps the bouquet looking fresh and prevents rot.
A little daily care can go a long way in extending the life of your arrangement. Whether you’ve received one of our signature Lunar Lily bouquets or a custom design, we hope it brings lasting beauty to your space.
With love and petals,
