Flower care

Want to enjoy your bouquet for as long as possible? Then look after them in the best possible way and follow the following steps.

Cutting at an angle

If a bouquet is left without water for more than a few minutes, the ‘wounds’ dry out, reducing their ability to absorb water. Therefore, cut about 3 cm. diagonally off the stems with a sharp knife. Blunt pliers cause the stems to be pinched off, reducing their ability to absorb water.

Place in a clean vase as soon as possible.

Flowers love water! Therefore, it is important to put the bouquet in water as soon as possible so that they can absorb water again. Make sure the vase is clean, clean with a little chlorine if necessary. We recommend a glass vase for several reasons. Bacteria are less likely to form on the wall of a glass vase, you can easily see whether there is still enough water in it and whether the water is still clean or needs to be changed.

Cut flower food

We supply a bag of cut flower food with each bouquet, add it to the water. You can use plain tap water. The nutrient will ensure the flowers stay beautiful for a long time and bloom beautifully.

The right place

Flowers do not like sun, draughts or heat. Heat and draughts accelerate the loss of moisture in flowers, making them more likely to droop. Do not put flowers near the fruit bowl either. This is because fruit undergoes a ripening process, during which ethylene gas is released. This gas is harmful to the flowers and will reduce their beauty.

Leaf and spent flowers

To prevent water pollution, it is important that no leaves get into the water. This is because leaves will rot in the water. Rose thorns can simply stay on the stem. It is best to remove spent flowers from the bouquet. They pollute the water and the bacteria affect the other flowers.
