Flower Care

Enjoy the Longest Vase Life from Your Flowers by Following These Simple Steps

Fresh Flowers

Strip leaves off stems that will be in water.

Cut stems at an angle.

Place flowers in cool, clean water.

Keep from direct sunlight, a/c and heat.

Replace water every other day.

Remove spent, faded flowers to prevent contamination.

Keep away from fruit, which can cause flowers to fade and wilt prematurely.

Store dried flowers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Avoid exposing dried flowers to excessive heat, humidity or dust.

Use a soft-bristled paintbrush to gently dust flowers.

Use a dry vase to display dried flowers.

Handle dried flowers gently to avoid damaging delicate petals, and handle only when necessary.

Monitor regularly for mold or mildew and remove damaged flowers when necessary.

If you want to extend the vase life of dried flowers, consider applying a fixative spray.
