How to care for your cut flowers

Keep your flowers in a cool, well-ventilated room away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources.

Change the water every other day and trim the stems at an angle to help them absorb more water.

Remove any leaves that will be submerged in the water, as they can encourage bacterial growth.

Add flower food to the water to help extend the life of your flowers.

Consider the occasion and the recipient's tastes when choosing the flowers and colors for your arrangement.

Use a variety of textures and heights to add interest and dimension to your arrangement.

Consider incorporating foliage, berries, or other natural elements to add depth to your arrangement.

Use floral foam or a frog (a device that helps hold flowers in place) to help your arrangement stay put.
