Caring for Your Flowers: Tips from Bloomable

As a leading brand in the ecommerce industry, Bloomable is dedicated to providing customers with beautiful flowers that last. To ensure your floral arrangements stay fresh and vibrant for as long as possible, it's essential to follow proper care guidelines. Here are some general tips to help you care for your flowers:

Watering

  • Adequate Supply: Make sure your flowers have enough water by filling a clean vase with lukewarm water and placing the flowers in it.
  • Daily Check: Monitor the water level daily and replenish as needed to keep your flowers hydrated and healthy.

Flower Food

  • Nutrient Boost: If provided, add flower food or preservative to the water following the package instructions. These additives contain nutrients that can extend the life of your flowers.

Stem Trimming

  • Regular Maintenance: Trim about an inch off the bottom of each stem every few days at a diagonal angle. This promotes better water absorption and prevents stems from sitting flat at the bottom of the vase.

Leaf Removal

  • Prevent Bacterial Growth: Remove any leaves or foliage submerged in the water, as they can encourage bacterial growth. Only leaves above the waterline should remain.

Display Location

  • Ideal Placement: Place your flowers in a cool area away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources. Avoid proximity to fruits or appliances producing ethylene gas, as it can shorten the flowers' lifespan.

Daily Check-Up

  • Maintenance Routine: Regularly inspect the water level, vase cleanliness, and flower condition. Remove any wilted or damaged flowers or foliage to preserve the arrangement's overall health.

Temperature Control

  • Avoid Extremes: Keep your flowers away from extreme temperatures, as both hot and cold environments can accelerate their deterioration.
