To keep your flowers looking fresh and beautiful, follow these easy care tips:

When you receive your flowers, trim about 1–2 inches off the stems at a 45-degree angle. This allows the flowers to absorb more water and prevents the stems from sealing off. Re-trim the stems every few days for optimal hydration.

Fill a clean vase with fresh water and add the flower food provided. Be sure the water covers the stems but doesn't submerge the petals. Room temperature water works best. Refresh the water every 2 days, and each time you change it, re-cut the stems to ensure continued hydration.

Place your flowers in a cool location, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts. This will help them last longer. Avoid putting them near ripening fruit, as it releases ethylene gas, which can shorten the life of your blooms.

For certain flowers, such as roses, it's a good idea to remove any thorns below the waterline. With tulips, keep an eye on them as they can continue growing, bending towards the light. Lilies may release pollen that can stain, so gently remove the anthers to keep them clean.

Lastly, consider using flower preservatives for extra hydration and longer-lasting blooms.
