Fresh Flower Care Tips from Heaven Scent Florist.
As the festive season ends, many people will have received beautiful fresh flower gifts. Here are some of our top fresh flower care tips for your festive flowers, to keep them looking fresh and smelling fragrant for longer.
Fresh Flower Care Tips for Arrangements in a vase
In order to ensure your flowers last as long as possible we suggest re-cutting the stems regularly and replacing the water with clean tepid water every other day. Remove any foliage that will be below the waterline. Your flower arrangement will certainly last longer in a room with a cool temperature. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight or near appliances that generate too much heat. Don’t forget, its best to avoid areas near open windows or vents as they can cause flowers to dehydrate.
Flower Arrangements in floral foam
To keep your flower arrangement fresh for longer, we recommend that you check the water levels daily. Make sure to keep the foam saturated. By keeping the water levels high, this will help to ensure your flowers will last longer, well into the New Year! Make sure to keep the arrangement in a cool location, far away from any winter drafts, away from heater and out of direct sunlight.
Hand Tied Bouquet Flower Care Tips
Check your bouquet regularly and remove any foliage that is below the waterline. We recommend re-cutting the stems at an angle and filling your vase with clean tepid water every other day. If you notice your water is slightly cloudy, it needs to be changed. Some flowers like tulips and calla lilies do not prefer floral preservatives but fir all other Hand Tied Flower Bouquets, adding some flower preservative is highly recommended! Make sure to display flowers in a cool location, to keep them looking and smelling beautiful for much longer.
