How do I take care of my flowers?

Whether you have our bouquets delivered to your home or pick them up from the vending machine, you naturally want to enjoy your bouquet for as long as possible. Bouquets that are already fully bloomed may look the most beautiful initially, but purchasing these means you’ll enjoy them for a shorter time. From a field bouquet to a beautiful bunch of red roses, we at Daily Flowers ensure that the buds are just starting to open. This way, you can be confident that your bouquet will last longer and bloom beautifully.

At Daily Flowers, we always ensure our bouquets are of high quality. However, how long you can enjoy them depends largely on how you care for them. Following a few simple steps can make all the difference, and it’s more than worth it.

Step 1: Start with a Clean and Suitable Vase

It’s crucial to have a clean and appropriately sized vase. On our website, you’ll find a wide selection of high-quality vases that perfectly complement your bouquet. A clean vase is essential to prevent the development of bacteria. Bacteria can contaminate the water, and your beautiful bouquet will absorb this water. You wouldn’t drink dirty water yourself, would you?

Step 2: Cut the Stems Properly

Once you have a clean, suitable vase, it’s time for the next step: trimming the stems. Many people use scissors for this, but you’ll notice it’s quite difficult and causes the stems to experience unnecessary squeezing and pulling. This makes it harder for the flowers to absorb water. Instead, use a sharp knife to cut the stems at a 1-2 cm diagonal angle. Cutting off more than this is unnecessary and a waste of your beautiful bouquet. The best practice is to re-trim the stems by 1-2 cm every three days to ensure the flowers can continue to drink well and stay in top condition.

Step 3: Fill the Vase with Fresh, Cold Tap Water

Fill your vase with fresh, cold tap water. Mix in the flower food sachet that comes with your bouquet—this step is very important! Just as you feel better when you receive proper nutrition, flowers thrive with the right nutrients.

Step 4: Place the Bouquet in the Vase

With fresh, cold water and flower food in the vase, place your bouquet with the freshly trimmed stems into the vase. Ensure no leaves from the bouquet are submerged in the water. Bacteria thrive on leaves, and they will contaminate the water, causing the stems to rot and shortening the life of your bouquet.

Final Touch: Placement and Monitoring

That’s it! You’ve just taken a few simple steps to ensure your bouquet lasts much longer. Now, place the vase in a beautiful spot in your home. Be mindful of heat, drafts, and proximity to fruit, as these can shorten the lifespan of your flowers. With these precautions, your flowers will stay beautiful for longer, and you’ll keep receiving compliments from your visitors.

Bonus Tip:

Keep an eye on the water level to ensure the bouquet always has enough water.

By following these simple care steps, you’ll get the most out of your bouquet and enjoy its beauty for an extended time!
