Flower Care

From farm to home, keep your flowers long lasting.

1. Trim the Stems

✂️ Everyday, cut 1–2 cm off the stems at a 45° angle.
This helps the flowers absorb water more easily.

2. Remove Lower Leaves

🌿As stems get shorter, remove any leaves that sit below the water line.
This prevents bacteria growth.

3. Use Clean, Cool Water

💧Change the water everyday or every 2nd day. Fill a clean vase with cool, fresh water.

4. Keep Them Out of Harsh Conditions

🌡️Avoid: Direct sunlight, heat & beside fruit (fruit releases ethylene gas)

5. Remove Spent Blooms

🥀Snip off any wilted blooms and leaves to keep the bouquet looking fresh and prevent rot.

6. Enjoy Long Lasting Flowers

💛 Enjoy your bouquet and the beautiful colours!

Flower food is not required. Flower food for these flowers can encourage bacteria in the water, which blocks the stems and shortens vase life.

Fresh water and daily stem trimming work best 😊
