ONCE YOU GET HOME
-
We do not recommend leaving your flowers in a hot car and try to keep them out of direct sunlight.
-
The most important thing to keep your flowers fresh is starting with a clean vase or jar at home. Using hot soapy water or even a touch of bleach to clean it after each use is super important. Bacteria in the water clog the stems’ ability to take up water and will drastically reduce vase life.
-
Give the stems a fresh cut at a 45-degree angle with sharp scissors before putting them in the clean vase(s) at home. This maximizes the surface area for water uptake.
-
Be sure there are no leaves below the water line in the vase. This will cause the water to build bacteria quickly.
-
We recommend every 2-3 days changing the water and giving the stems a fresh cut on the bottom.
-
Keeping the flowers away from direct sunlight will also extend their vase life.
If you follow these few steps your flowers should provide you awesome vase life!
