Immediate Care

Unpacking

Carefully unpack the flowers as soon as they arrive, avoiding any rough handling that could damage them.

Trimming

Trim at least an inch off the stems using a sharp, clean cutter to aid water absorption. Cut at a 45-degree angle to create a larger surface area for water uptake.

Watering

Place them in a vase with fresh, cold water. Make sure the vase is clean to avoid any bacterial growth.

 

Optimal Environment

Temperature

Keep the flowers in a cool area, away from direct sunlight, radiators, or any heat-emitting appliances.

Humidity

Maintain a high humidity level if possible, as most flowers thrive in humid conditions.

Air Circulation

Ensure good air circulation around the flowers, but avoid placing them in direct drafts.

 

Maintenance

Water Change

Change the water in the vase every 2 days or when it becomes cloudy, whichever comes first. This helps to keep the water fresh and free from bacteria.

Stem Trimming

Re-trim the stems slightly every time you change the water to enhance water absorption.

Leaf Removal

Remove any leaves that are submerged in water to prevent bacterial growth.

 

Nutrition and Protection

Flower Food

Use commercial flower food or a homemade solution (like a mixture of water, sugar, and lemon juice) to provide the necessary nutrients to the flowers.

Pest and Disease Prevention

Keep an eye out for signs of pests or diseases and take immediate action if spotted.

 

Avoiding Ethylene Gas

Keep flowers away from fruits and vegetables as they emit ethylene gas which can hasten the wilting of flowers.

 

Regular Monitoring

Wilting Flowers

Remove any wilting or dead flowers to prevent the spread of bacteria and to encourage the other flowers to last longer.

Water Level

Ensure that the water level in the vase is sufficient, topping it up as needed.
