1. Trim the stems regularly
Fresh cuts will make all the difference for your flower arrangement! Trim the stems, preferably at a 45-degree angle every few days. This will help your flowers absorb water more efficiently and therefore extend their life. This simple step can make your blooms stay fresh for at least a week!
2. Use fresh water
Always keep your flowers in clean water and change the water every two days to prevent bacteria from shortening your flowers life. A clean vase is equally important, so be sure to wash it thoroughly before refilling. Keep an eye on the water level though, not too much and not too little is what your blooms like!
3. Find the perfect spot
Finding the perfect spot is key to keeping your flowers looking beautiful for longer. Flowers love a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight and drafts. Also, avoid placing your bouquet near ripening fruits or radiators, as these can cause wilting.
4. Provide nutrients
Feed your flowers with the right nutrients. If your flowers come with a packet of flower food from your local florist shop, definitely pop it in the water in your vase as soon as possible. This ensures your flowers are getting nourished and inhibits unwanted bacterial growth!
5. Do a little pruning
Before arranging your flowers, remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline, this will allow your stems to drink enough water efficiently. Check your flower arrangement for any wilting or dead blooms and leaves daily and remove them as you go.
By following these tips, your beautiful blooms from La Beau Fleurs can brighten your home or office for as long as possible.
