Cut Flower Care

  1. For wrapped bouquets- Remove any leaves that will be below the water line. Give all stems a fresh cut (at least 1 inch) before placing in water.

  2. Use the flower food packet, it really does help.

  3. For wrapped bouquets and ready-made arrangements- Keep an eye on the vase’s water level. Cut flowers drink a lot!

  4. Change water out completely every 2-3 days.

  5. Keep in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight.

  6. Remove any wilted leaves or blooms to extend freshness.

  7. Know when to let go. Life is too short for sad flowers!
