Flower Care Guide
Keep your beautiful flowers fresh for longer
Essential Care Steps
Trim the Stems
Cut stems at a 45-degree angle under running water to help with water absorption.
Find the Right Spot
Place flowers in a cool area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts.
Use Clean Water
Fill a clean vase with fresh, lukewarm water. Change water every 2-3 days.
Keep Cool
Maintain room temperature between 65-75°F for optimal flower longevity.
Care by Flower Type
Roses
7-10 days
Remove thorns and lower leaves. Cut stems daily and change water frequently.
Lilies
7-14 days
Remove pollen-heavy stamens to prevent staining. Keep away from pets as they're toxic.
Carnations
14-21 days
Cut stems between nodes and remove lower leaves. Very long-lasting flowers.
Tulips
5-7 days
Keep in cool water and trim stems straight across. They continue to grow in the vase.
Sunflowers
6-12 days
Use a tall, sturdy vase. Change water daily as they drink heavily.
Orchids
1-3 months
Mist petals lightly, avoid overwatering. Place in bright, indirect light.
Pro Tips for Maximum Freshness
💡Daily Maintenance
Check water level daily and top up as needed. Remove any wilted blooms or yellowing leaves immediately.
🌡️Temperature Control
Keep flowers cool overnight by moving them to a cooler room or adding ice cubes to the water.
✂️Re-cutting Stems
Every 2-3 days, trim 1 inch from the bottom of stems under running water for better water uptake.
🍯Natural Preservatives
Add a teaspoon of sugar or lemon-lime soda to the water to provide nutrients and extend flower life.
Common Issues & Solutions
Flowers drooping quickly?
This usually means stems are blocked. Re-cut stems under water and change to fresh, clean water.
Petals falling off?
Normal aging process. Remove fallen petals promptly and ensure flowers aren't in direct heat.
Water smells bad?
Bacteria buildup. Clean vase thoroughly, trim stems, and use fresh water with a drop of bleach.
Leaves turning yellow?
Remove yellowing leaves immediately as they drain energy and can spread to healthy parts.
