Frequently Asked Questions

You should change the water every 2-3 days. Stagnant water is a breeding ground for bacteria, which can cause the flowers to wilt prematurely. When you change the water, give the stems a fresh trim at the same time (about an inch off). This will help the flowers drink more efficiently and stay fresh longer.

Yes, you absolutely can! Placing cut flowers in the fridge overnight can help extend their lifespan, as cooler temperatures slow down the process of wilting. Just make sure there are no fruits nearby, since the ethylene gas they release can speed up the aging of flowers. A separate, unused fridge is ideal!

Room temperature water is perfect! Cold water can shock the flowers, and hot water can cause them to wilt faster. Just use tap water that’s neither too hot nor too cold, and make sure the vase is clean to prevent bacteria buildup. If you want to get fancy, you can add a flower preservative to the water, which often comes with store-bought bouquets.

To make your bouquet last as long as possible, follow these key tips: Change the water regularly, trim the stems, and remove any leaves that are submerged in the water. Avoid placing your flowers in direct sunlight or near heat sources (like radiators or vents), as these can speed up wilting. Also, if your bouquet came with a packet of flower food, definitely use it! It helps nourish the flowers and keeps them fresh.

To keep your cut flowers from wilting too quickly, make sure to change the water every 2-3 days. Trim the stems at a 45-degree angle before placing them in fresh water—this helps the flowers absorb water more efficiently. Also, remove any leaves that will sit below the waterline to prevent bacteria growth. Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from drafts. A cool spot is ideal for longer-lasting blooms!
