Flower Care 101

Wahoo! You received some flowers, someone must really love you. Here are some tips and tricks to get the longest vase life from your blooms:

  • In order to ensure the longest vase life for your flowers, make sure to change out the water every couple of days.

  • Keep your arrangement out of direct sunlight.

  • Make sure there are no leaves in the water, as this encourages bacterial growth.

  • Feeling like a super plant parent? Go ahead and cut the stems every couple days or so. Just an inch or so will do it.

  • You don't need any kind of plant food or powder. These babies are fresh as can be.

  • You may occasionally have flowers or foliage that last longer than the week. You can put them in a bud vase in your bathroom or on a nightstand, or combine them with your new arrangement. Keep the party going.

  • After you've enjoyed your bouquet, please consider composting or drying them.
