Flower Care

At Precious Posies Studio, we understand the importance of maintaining the beauty and longevity of your flowers. Here are some essential tips to ensure your floral arrangement stays fresh for as long as possible:

1. Unpack with Care

When you receive your flowers from us, carefully unwrap the packaging to avoid damaging the delicate blooms. Gently remove any protective wraps or sleeves, being mindful not to harm the stems or petals.

2. Prepare the Vase

Choose a clean vase of appropriate size for your arrangement. Fill it with clean, room temperature water, ideally filtered or distilled. If provided, use the flower food packet provided by us, as it includes essential nutrients to help prolong the life of your flowers.

3. Trim and Prune

Using sharp, clean scissors or pruning shears, trim the stems of your flowers at a 45-degree angle under running water to prevent air bubbles from forming in the stems. This allows for better water absorption. Remove any excess foliage that would be submerged in the water, to prevent bacterial growth.

4. Water Regularly

Check the water level in the vase daily and add more as needed. Aim to keep the water level at least halfway up the stems. Change the water every two to three days to maintain freshness and prevent the build-up of bacteria.

5. Keep Away from Heat and Direct Sunlight

To prolong the life of your flowers, display them away from direct sunlight, heating vents, or drafts. Extreme temperatures can cause wilting, dehydration, and premature aging of the blooms. Find a spot with moderate temperature and good air circulation.

6. Rejuvenate Wilting Blooms

If any flowers begin to wilt, remove them from the arrangement immediately. To revive wilted blooms, submerge them in water for an hour, or re-cut the stems and place them in fresh water overnight. This technique can often restore their vitality.

7. Display and Enjoy

Remember that some flowers have different needs, so segregate certain types if necessary. Avoid placing flowers next to ripening fruits as their ethylene gas can speed up the wilting process. Lastly, don't forget to regularly admire your beautiful floral arrangement, as it brings joy to any space!
