Change water daily, add flower food, trim a little, keep cool, remove wilted leaves.
We've pre-trimmed and cleaned your blooms. Just do these simple steps to keep them fresh.
Fill your vase with fresh, clean room-temperature water.
Add the flower food provided (½ the packet each refill works well).
Rinse the vase before refilling to remove bacteria build-up.
Every 2 days, trim ½ inch off the stem bottoms at a 45° angle.
This helps them absorb water better and stay perky longer.
Avoid direct sunlight, heat, and air-con vents.
A cool, airy spot is ideal. Flowers last longer in gentle indoor light.
Remove any wilted petals or leaves sitting below the waterline.
This keeps the water clean and prevents bacteria growth.
