Quick Floral Care Tips!

When you get your beautiful flowers delivered to you from a florist or you purchase them from your local market you are always so excited and hope they last for weeks and weeks! Unfortunately, they don't but there are ways to extend the life of your flower arrangement with proper care.

1. Always make sure the flower vase is filled with fresh water. Flowers need FRESH water (just like we need air). Make sure to keep all leaves and foliage out of the water.

2. Every 2 or 3 days replace the old water out of the flower vase and refill it with a clean , fresh water. This will help remove any of the bacteria that started to accumulate in the vase. If any leaves or petals have fallen in to the water remember to remove them. There should be nothing floating in the water.

3. It doesn't hurt to trim your stems when you change your water every few days. Even if your arrangement was delivered to you from a florists, just remove each stem, trim and put back in its place.

4. If you have flower food add a packet of it when you change the water. If you do not have flower food then you could add a drop of bleach to the water. This will help keep the water free from bacteria which is ultimately what kills the flowers.

Stay Posh!
