• Temperature Matters: Find a cool spot away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources like radiators. Good air circulation is key to prevent moisture buildup and potential fungus growth.
• Hydration Heroes: Replenish the water every 2-3 days, ensuring it reaches at least two-thirds of the stems height. Use cool water, never hot (recommended temperature ranges (e.g., 60-70°F). Use the provided flower food packet for added nourishment.
• Pruning Power: Every few days, gently remove any wilted leaves or petals to keep the water cleaner and prevent the spread of bacteria. You can also re-cut the stems diagonally by about half an inch for better water absorption.

Beyond the Basics:

• Specific Care: Different flowers have different needs. If your arrangement includes lilies, lightly mist their blooms to prevent browning. For hydrangeas, submerge the base of their stems briefly in cool water every few days. Ask our knowledgeable staff for specific care tips based on your arrangement's contents.
• Showcasing Beauty: Display your arrangement where it can be admired! Choose a spot that highlights its colors and complements your home decor. Rotate the vase periodically for even light exposure.
