Caring for your flower arrangement is essential to ensure that it stays vibrant and beautiful for as long as possible. At Exceptional Flowers, we want to provide you with some simple tips to help you prolong the life of your floral display:
Watering: Check the water level in the vase daily and ensure it is topped up. It's best to use room temperature water as it is easier for the flowers to absorb. If possible, use the floral preservative provided by Exceptional Flowers to nourish the blooms.
Trimming Stems: To help the flowers absorb water more effectively, trim about an inch from the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle using sharp, clean scissors or shears. This opens up the vessels for better water intake.
Remove Foliage: Remove any leaves that might be submerged in water. These leaves can deteriorate and encourage bacterial growth, which may shorten the lifespan of your arrangement.
Placement: Keep your flower arrangement away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources like heating vents or radiators. Extreme temperatures can cause the flowers to wilt or dry out quickly.
Mist Regularly: Some flowers benefit from a light misting of water. Since humidity levels can vary, misting the petals can help them avoid drying out in arid conditions.
By following these simple guidelines, you can maximize the lifespan of your flower arrangement and enjoy its beauty for a longer time. Remember, Exceptional Flowers is always here to assist you with any additional care tips or questions you may have.
