Caring For Your Fresh Flowers

Fresh flowers bring a little joy to any space — and with a few simple steps, you can help them last even longer.

  • Start with a clean vase and refresh the water every two–three days. This helps keep bacteria at bay.

  • Trim stems on an angle when you receive your flowers to help them drink more easily.

  • Keep them cool and out of direct sunlight or heat, which shortens their lifespan.

  • Room-temperature water is ideal. Warm water can encourage tight buds to open, but may shorten overall vase life.

  • If you like, you can add a tiny pinch of bleach (¼ teaspoon per litre) to help reduce bacteria.

Simple care, longer-lasting blooms.
