Flower Care Guide
โ๏ธ 1. Stem Preparation
Upon receiving your flowers, trim approximately 1โ2 cm from each stem at a 45-degree angle. This allows for optimal water absorption. Re-cut the stems every two to three days.
๐ง 2. Water Maintenance
Place the flowers in a clean vase filled with fresh, room-temperature water. The water should be replaced every one to two days. Ensure the vase is thoroughly cleaned before refilling to minimize bacterial growth.
๐ 3. Leaf Removal
Remove any foliage that would fall below the waterline. Submerged leaves can promote bacterial development, which may reduce the lifespan of the flowers.
๐ค๏ธ 4. Placement
Position the arrangement in a cool environment, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts. Avoid placing flowers near radiators, electronic devices, or air conditioning vents.
๐ 5. Avoid Exposure to Fruit
Do not place flowers near ripening fruit, as it emits ethylene gas, which accelerates the aging process of fresh flowers.
๐๏ธ 6. Removal of Wilted Blooms
Regularly inspect the arrangement and promptly remove any wilted or damaged flowers to help preserve the freshness of the remaining blooms.
โณ 7. Expected Longevity
With proper care, most fresh flowers will remain in good condition for approximately 5 to 7 days. Certain varieties may last longer depending on their type and environment.
