flower care
unwrap your bouquet and trim the stems at a 45 degree angle to prevent them from falling flat against the bottom of the vase preventing absorption of water and giving it more of a surface area to absorb water
fill a clean vase with fresh clean room temperature water and place your bouquet in it. place the flowers in a cool dry area away from direct sunlight as it will dry the flowers out faster
remove foliage and leaves that are below the water line since they encourage bacteria growth if they are below it. remove wilting flowers or petals to prevent bacteria from spreading to healthy flowers as well as any flower or debris that fall into the water
change the water everyday to prevent bacteria buildup and retrim the stems every 2 days to reopen them so they can absorb water. avoid placing your flowers near ripening fruit as ethylene gas released from the fruit will shorten your flowers life.
