Fresh flowers are a living thing. A few thoughtful habits help you enjoy every stage, from their first opening to their final, beautiful curl.
Start with a fresh beginning.
- Wash your vessel before filling it with fresh, cool water.
- Trim stems at an angle using clean, sharp snips.
- Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline.
- Use the flower food provided, following the packet instructions.

Find their happy place.
Choose a cool spot away from direct sun, heating vents and ripening fruit. Refresh the water every two days and gently remove any spent blooms. Keep arrangements out of reach of pets and children.
