Flower Care

A few simple habits will keep your bouquet looking fresh for a week or more:

• Trim 2 cm from each stem at a 45° angle before placing in water.
• Use cool, clean water and change it every two days.
• Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline.
• Keep the bouquet away from direct sunlight, radiators, and ripening fruit (fruit releases ethylene, which ages flowers quickly).
• Re-cut stems every few days when changing water.

For a thorough guide, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) publishes one of the most respected references on cut flower care.
