Getting the most of your flowers

"Knock, Knock". What a wonderful surprise! You open your door and receive a flower delivery! Now that you have this vase of fresh flowers, what's the best way to keep them happy? Read on for some great tips!

Flowers in a clear vase?

These arrangements are the easiest to monitor. Keep an eye on the water level and make sure all the stems stay submerged. Change the water, adding a packet of flower food* every few days to minimize bacteria growth.

Flowers in wet foam?

Keep the foam wet to prevent your flowers from drying out. Check the foam daily by placing your finger on the foam, or monitoring the water level in the container.

Where should I keep my flowers?

Your flowers will be happier if you choose a cool place out of direct sunlight.

Keep leaves and flower petals out of the water to reduce the growth of bacteria. Eventually your flowers will fade, but these tips can help them remain fresh for as long as possible.

*If you don't have flower food, an aspirin is a good alternative.
