How to Care for Fresh Flowers and Make Them Last Longer

There’s nothing quite like the beauty of fresh flowers brightening your home or celebrating a special occasion. With proper care, your blooms can stay fresh and beautiful even longer.

Start with a Clean Vase

Always use a clean vase filled with fresh, room-temperature water. This helps reduce bacteria that can shorten the life of your flowers.

Trim the Stems

Before placing your flowers in water, trim about one inch off the stems at a 45-degree angle. Re-trim every few days to help the flowers absorb water more efficiently.

Change the Water Regularly

Fresh water is one of the most important factors in extending flower life. Replace the water every 2-3 days and rinse the vase before refilling.

Remove Extra Leaves

Remove any leaves that sit below the water line. Leaves in water can create bacteria that may cause flowers to wilt more quickly.

Keep Flowers Away from Heat

Avoid placing arrangements in direct sunlight, near heating vents, or next to appliances that generate heat. Cooler locations help flowers last longer.

Remove Wilted Blooms

As flowers naturally age, remove any wilted blooms to keep the arrangement looking its best and help the remaining flowers stay healthy.
