1. Water: Keep your flowers well-hydrated by placing them in a clean vase filled with room temperature water. Change the water every 2-3 days to prevent bacteria buildup.

2. Trimming: Trim the stems of your flowers at an angle before placing them in the vase. This helps the flowers absorb water more efficiently. Trim about 1-2 inches off the bottom of each stem.

3. Remove Leaves: Remove any leaves that will be submerged in water as they can cause bacterial growth and make the water cloudy.

4. Placement: Place your bouquet in a cool location away from direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources. Avoid placing them near fruits or vegetables, as they release ethylene gas which can cause flowers to deteriorate faster.

5. Food: Flower bouquets come with flower food packets. Follow the instructions on the packet and add it to the water to prolong the life of your flowers.

6. Misting: Lightly mist the petals of your flowers with water to keep them fresh and hydrated, especially if you live in a dry climate.

7. Careful Handling: Handle your flowers gently to avoid damaging the petals or stems. Avoid touching the blooms too much, as this can cause them to bruise or wilt prematurely.

8. Pruning: Remove any wilted or spent flowers from the bouquet as soon as you notice them. This will help the remaining flowers stay fresh longer.

 

 

1. Watering : Check the water level daily and add more water as needed to keep the floral foam or sponge hydrated.

2. Avoid Overwatering: While it's essential to keep the floral foam moist, avoid overwatering, as this can lead to waterlogging and may cause the stems to root.

3. Trimming Stems: If the flowers in the box have exposed stems, trim them at an angle before placing them in the floral foam. This helps the flowers absorb water more effectively. Trim about 1-2 inches off the bottom of each stem.

4. Remove Foliage: Remove any foliage or leaves that will be submerged in water or in contact with the floral foam. This helps prevent bacterial growth and keeps the water clean.

5. Keep Away from Heat Sources: Place the flower box in a cool location away from direct sunlight, heaters, or other heat sources. Exposure to heat can cause the flowers to wilt more quickly.

6. Avoid Drafts: Keep the flower box away from drafty areas, as drafts can cause the flowers to dehydrate faster.

7. Rotate the Box: Rotate the flower box occasionally to ensure that all sides receive equal exposure to light and air, promoting even growth and prolonging the lifespan of the flowers.

8. Monitor for Wilted Flowers: Check the flowers daily for any signs of wilting or decay. Remove any wilted or spent flowers promptly to maintain the overall appearance of the arrangement.
