How to make your flower arrangements last longer

All flowers, without exception, need good care. From a single bud, to a small bunch, to an abundant arrangement, just a little extra care can make all the difference. So take the time to follow these simple steps:

Arrangements

Keep the vase filled, or the floral foam soaked, with water containing a flower food. If the solution becomes cloudy, then replace it entirely. If it is possible, re-cut the stems by removing one to two inches using a sharp knife and cutting at an angle. Use warm water when topping up or re-filling your vase.

Boxed flowers or loose wrapped bunches

If you can't get your flowers into a water and flower food solution right away, be sure to keep the flowers in a cool place. Fill a clean, deep vase with water and add the flower food, following the instructions.
