How to care for a fresh flower bouquet
When we receive a bouquet, we want it to last as long as possible. With a few simple routines, you can keep the flowers fresh for longer.
Cutting the stems
One of the most important steps is cutting the stems as soon as you receive the bouquet.
Do it:
With sharp scissors
At a diagonal angle
Removing about two centimetres
This helps the flowers absorb water more easily.
Changing the water
Flowers need clean water to last longer.
We recommend:
Changing the water every two days
Washing the vase
Adding fresh water
Placing the bouquet in the right spot
Avoid placing the bouquet near:
Radiators
Direct sunlight
Appliances that give off heat
