Flower Care
Make your blooms last longer and feel fresh all week
Trim The Stems
On arrival, cut 2–3cm off each stem at a sharp angle using clean scissors or a knife. This helps your flowers drink more water and stay fresher, longer.
​
Tip: Trim every 2–3 days for extra longevity.
Use Clean Water
Fill a clean vase with room-temperature water. Bacteria is the enemy of fresh flowers, so make sure your vase is squeaky clean.
​
Bonus: Add the flower food sachet — or a dash of sugar + a drop of bleach as a homemade option.
Remove Leaves below waterline
Strip off any leaves that sit below the water — this prevents rotting and murky water, which shortens your flowers' lifespan.
​
Tip: You can chuck the stems in your green bin and recycle them!
Extra Tips
Choose the Right Spot
Keep your flowers out of direct sun, heat, and draughts. Avoid placing them near fruit bowls (fruits release a gas which can make flowers die quicker).
​
Refresh Often
Change the water every 2–3 days, give the vase a quick rinse, and re-trim the stems. Your flowers will love you for it.
