Flower Care Instructions

How to Care for a Rose Bouquet or Mixed Flower Arrangement:

• Trim the stems at a slant, about 1 cm from the bottom.
• Place the bouquet in a clean vase filled with lukewarm water.
• If flower food is provided, dissolve the contents of the sachet in 0.5 L of water.
• Keep the bouquet in a cooler room, away from direct sunlight.
• Change the water daily and re-trim the stems each time.

How to Care for a Floral Arrangement or Flower Box:

• Place the arrangement in a cool room, away from direct sunlight, and on a protective surface to avoid damage to furniture.
• Add water daily with a small watering can to the center of the arrangement.
• If flower food is provided, dissolve it in 0.5 L of water and use this to refill.

Special Care for Certain Cut Flowers:

Bulb and Tuber Flowers

(e.g., daffodils, tulips, hyacinths)

• Tulips: Place in a vase with ice-cold water – you can even add ice cubes.
• Daffodils: They release a substance harmful to other flowers, so let them sit in a separate vase for 1 day before combining with others.
• Hyacinths: Once in bloom, they can be too aromatic – avoid placing them in bedrooms, reception areas, or waiting rooms.

Hydrangeas

• Trim stems diagonally with sharp scissors and place in a vase with warm water.
• Remove any leaves below the waterline to prevent rotting and bacterial growth, which can shorten the lifespan of the flowers.

Peonies

• Trim the stems by 3 to 4 cm, using a clean, sharp knife to ensure a smooth cut.
• Remove any submerged leaves to avoid rot and bacterial spread, which can cause the flowers to wilt faster.

Sunflowers

• Cut stems diagonally and place in a vase with warm water.

Exotic Flowers

(e.g., anthuriums, orchids)

• With proper care, exotic flowers can last 4–6 weeks.
• Avoid placing them in drafts or under air conditioning.
• If you’ve received a cut orchid in a floral water tube, check regularly for sufficient water, refill as needed, and trim the stem by only a few millimeters.
