Caring For Fresh Sympathy Flower Arrangements:

The passing of a loved one is never easy, but sympathy flowers help ease the burden of loss. The remarkable beauty of flowers is a constant reminder of the beautiful person that still means so very much to you. Every glance at the wonderful arrangement of sympathy flowers is a chance to enjoy a special memory of your loved one. Help preserve these memories by caring for your flowers with these simple tips.

• Place stems or bouquets of fresh flowers in water as soon as possible.


• Add preservative to the water. Preservative packets can be found at local flower shops.


• Keep fresh flowers away from draft and extreme temperatures which can quickly dry the flowers and cause wilting.


• Avoid placing flower arrangements in windowsills and other areas of full sun where flowers can wilt due to overheating.


• All flower stems should be submerged in water. Decline of fresh flowers occurs much more quickly after stems have been removed from water.


• To maintain fresh flowers longer, trim the stems and change to fresh water after a few days.


• Immediately remove dead or wilting stems from fresh flower arrangements.
