There’s nothing like the joy of receiving a fresh bouquet—but how do you make that beauty last as long as possible?
Whether your flowers are from a special occasion, a gift, or a local Edmonton flower delivery, a little care goes a long way. Here are five simple tips to help your blooms stay fresher, longer.
1. Start with a Clean Vase
It might sound basic, but a clean vase is key. Bacteria in dirty vases can shorten the life of your flowers. Wash it with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly before adding fresh water.
2. Trim the Stems
Before placing your flowers in water, trim about an inch off the stems at a 45-degree angle. This helps them absorb more water. Re-trim every couple of days to keep them drinking well!
3. Change the Water Regularly
Stale water = unhappy flowers. Change the water every 2-3 days and clean the vase to keep things fresh. Your flowers will thank you.
4. Keep Them Cool and Out of Direct Sun
Cut flowers last longer when they’re kept in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and fruit bowls (yes, really—fruit gives off gases that age your flowers faster!).
A Little Care Goes a Long Way
When you follow these simple flower care tips, your blooms can last up to a week—or even longer. Whether your bouquet came from a loved one or you ordered it yourself through Edmonton flower delivery, it deserves to be enjoyed as long as possible.
