Tips for looking after your flowers post delivery

Receiving a beautiful bouquet of flowers is always an exciting surprise, but do you know how taking good care of them can prolong their beauty and freshness? Here are some useful tips on what to do when you receive your flower delivery and ensure they stay stunning for longer.

• Cut the stems: One of the most common mistakes people make after receiving flowers is forgetting to cut the stems. it’s important to cut the stems at a 45-degree angle, as they don’t lay flat at the bottom of the vase. This allows the flowers to absorb water better, keeping them fresh for longer. Use scissors to ensure a clean and precise cut.  
• Pruning: Remove any leaves below the waterline. This will not only make your bouquet more beautiful, but will also prevent bacterial proliferation and will slow the process of flower deterioration. Leave only a few leaves at the top of the stems to provide the flowers with nutrients. After the initial pruning, you should check your flowers frequently for dead or loose leaves and petals to prevent bacterial decay.
• Watering: After choosing a clean vase, fill it with clean water at room temperature. It’s also important to clean your vase and change the water periodically, every two or three days.
• Avoid environmental hazards: Your flowers will last longer in an environment with mild temperatures. Avoid displaying them in direct sunlight or near appliances that generate heat. Try to learn the ideal environment for the flowers you received.

With these simple tips, you can ensure that your bouquet of flowers stays stunning for longer, bringing beauty and joy to your environment.
