How to Care for Fresh Cut Flowers in a Vase

Remove the Packaging and Trim the Stems

1. Remove the Packaging and Trim the Stems

Remove all wrapping and cut about ½ inch off the stems at an angle using sharp scissors or floral shears. This helps flowers absorb water more efficiently and stay hydrated.

2. Use a Clean Vase, Fresh Water, and Flower Food

Clean your vase thoroughly, fill it with fresh water, and add the flower food provided. This step is especially important in Miami’s warm climate, where bacteria can develop faster.

3. Avoid Direct Sunlight, Heat, and Fruit Nearby

Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight, heat sources, air vents, and fruit. Fruit releases ethylene gas, which can cause flowers to wilt more quickly.

4. Refresh Every 2–3 Days

Every 2–3 days, change the water, trim the stems slightly, and remove any leaves below the waterline. This routine helps extend the life of your bouquet.

How to Care for Flower Boxes

Do Not Remove the Flowers from the Box

1. Do Not Remove the Flowers from the Box

Flower boxes are designed with a floral foam base that keeps stems hydrated. Removing flowers from the box can damage the arrangement.

2. Add a Small Amount of Fresh Water Daily

Pour a small amount of fresh water directly into the center of the arrangement each day. The floral foam will absorb the water and nourish the flowers.

3. Keep Flower Boxes in a Cool Area

Avoid placing flower boxes in direct sunlight or near heat sources. This is especially important in South Florida homes.

4. Enjoy Your Flowers

Flower boxes are made to be enjoyed effortlessly. With proper care, they will stay fresh, vibrant, and brighten your space and mood.
