How do I look after my flowers?

Caring for Your Flowers: Simple Tips from Bloomable

We want your blooms to stay fresh and beautiful for as long as possible. Here are some easy care tips to help you enjoy your flowers to the fullest:

• Watering: Use a clean vase filled with fresh water, and check the water level daily. Replenish as needed to keep your flowers hydrated.
• Flower Food: If included, add the flower food to the water as instructed. It helps nourish your blooms and extend their life.
• No flower food? A dash of sugar should do the trick.
• Stem Trimming: Every few days, trim about an inch off the bottom of each stem at an angle. This helps your flowers absorb water better.
• Remove Leaves Below Waterline: Leaves submerged in water can cause bacteria to grow, so remove any foliage below the waterline.
• Where to Place: Keep your flowers in a cool spot away from direct sunlight, drafts, heaters, or fruits, which can shorten their freshness.
• Daily Check: Regularly remove wilted or damaged flowers and change the water to keep the arrangement looking its best.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Hot or cold spots can speed up wilting, so keep your flowers in a stable environment.
