Top Flower Care Tips

Trim the Stems

Cut 1–2 cm from the base of each stem at a 45° angle before placing them in water. This helps them absorb water better.

Use Fresh, Clean Water

Change the water every 2–3 days to prevent bacterial buildup

Avoid Direct Sunlight & Heat

Place your flowers in a cool spot, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

Remove Foliage Below Water Level

 Any leaves submerged in water can decay quickly and affect the freshness of your flowers.

Add Flower Food (or Sugar)

If provided, use the flower food sachet. Otherwise, a small spoon of sugar helps extend life.
