Flower Care Guide for Arrangements with Arrangements or Bouquets

Thank you for choosing our beautiful flower arrangements! To ensure the longevity and freshness of your flowers, please follow these simple care instructions:

For Arrangements with Floral Foam:

1. Placement:

•    Keep your arrangement in a cool place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
•    Avoid placing the flowers near drafty areas or appliances that emit heat.

2. Watering:

•    Check the floral foam daily and add water as needed. The foam should always be moist but not saturated.
•    Use a watering can with a narrow spout to ensure precise watering without disturbing the arrangement.

3. Trimming:

•    Remove any wilted or discolored flowers to keep the arrangement looking fresh.

4. Avoiding Ethylene Exposure:

•    Keep flowers away from fruits, as fruits release ethylene gas, which accelerates the aging of flowers.

5. Handling with Care:

•    Handle the flowers gently to avoid bruising or damaging delicate petals and stems.

6. Enjoying the Fragrance:

•    If your bouquet includes fragrant flowers, keep them in a well-ventilated area to fully enjoy their scent.

For Bouquets:

1. Watering:

•    Upon receiving the bouquet, trim the stems at an angle and place them in fresh, clean water.
•    Change the water every 2-3 days to maintain freshness.

2. Trimming:

•    Trim the stems periodically to allow for better water absorption.
•    Remove any leaves that may be submerged in the water to prevent bacterial growth.

3. Avoiding Contamination:

•    Keep the water clear of fallen leaves and debris to ensure a clean environment for the flowers.

4. Temperature and Placement:

•    Keep the bouquet in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, heaters, or drafty areas.

5. Floral Food:

•    If you have floral food, follow the instructions on the package for optimal flower nourishment.

6. Avoiding Ethylene Exposure:

•    Keep flowers away from fruits, as fruits release ethylene gas, which accelerates the aging of flowers.

7. Handling with Care:
