• Trimming Stems: Upon receiving fresh cut flowers, immediately trim the stems at an angle using sharp scissors or a floral knife. This allows for better water absorption. Trim about 1-2 inches off the bottom of each stem.

• Clean Vase: Use a clean vase filled with lukewarm water to hold the flowers. Rinse the vase with water and add a few drops of bleach to inhibit bacterial growth. Alternatively, you can use a floral preservative packet, following the instructions on the packet.

• Remove Leaves: Remove any leaves that will be submerged in water to prevent bacterial growth. Leaves left in water can decay and contaminate the water, shortening the lifespan of the flowers.

• Water Level: Keep the water level in the vase high enough to cover the cut ends of the stems. Check the water level daily and replenish as needed to ensure the flowers stay hydrated.

• Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat: Place the vase of flowers in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, heating vents, or drafts. Exposure to heat and sunlight can cause flowers to wilt prematurely.

• Change Water Regularly: Every 2-3 days, change the water in the vase and re-trim the stems. This helps to keep the water clean and free from bacteria, prolonging the life of the flowers.

• Prune Wilting Flowers: Remove any flowers or foliage that show signs of wilting or decay. This prevents ethylene gas production, which can cause other flowers to deteriorate more quickly.

• Misting: If the air in your home is particularly dry, mist the flowers lightly with water using a spray bottle. This helps to keep the petals hydrated and prevents them from drying out.

• Avoid Fruit: Keep fresh cut flowers away from ripening fruit, as fruits release ethylene gas, which can cause flowers to deteriorate more quickly.

• Enjoy: Finally, take time to admire and enjoy your fresh cut flowers! With proper care, they should brighten your home and bring joy for several days to come.

• By following these simple care tips, you can maximize the longevity and beauty of your fresh cut flowers, allowing you to enjoy them to the fullest extent possible.
