How to care for cut flowers:
Flowers need a little preparation before presenting them.
- Recut 2cm off all stems that have come out of water.
- Remove any stem foliage that will sit below water, to avoid bacterial growth
- Place immediately in fresh water (using a flower preservative or a splash of bleach)
- Change water every 2-3 days, recutting stems each time and removing any dead or dying petals or foliage
Don’t place flowers in direct sunlight; the cooler the area, the longer the flowers last.
