How To Care For Your Fresh Flower Arrangements:

Just received beautiful fresh flowers from your local florist? Congratulations! Fresh flowers help boost our spirits and stimulate creativity and well-being. Want to enjoy your colorful arrangement as long as possible? Delighting in the beauty of fresh flowers for many days is as easy as following a few simple tips. Here are several easy care tips that will help your flower memories last longer.

• 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.
