Expert Flower Care Tips from Simply Flowers

Fresh flowers have the wonderful ability to brighten a room, lift your mood, and make any space feel more welcoming. Whether you’ve received flowers as a thoughtful gift or ordered them for yourself, a little extra care can help them stay fresh and beautiful for many more days.

At Simply Flowers, we believe every bouquet deserves to be enjoyed for as long as possible. Follow our simple flower care tips to extend the life of your blooms and keep them looking their best.

1. Keep Your Vase Clean

A clean vase is one of the most important factors in keeping fresh flowers healthy.

Before arranging your flowers, thoroughly wash the vase with warm water and mild soap to remove any bacteria. Bacteria are one of the biggest reasons flowers wilt prematurely.

Fill your vase with fresh, room-temperature water and change the water every one to two days to keep your flowers hydrated and healthy.

A little extra care goes a long way.

2. Trim the Stems Correctly

Before placing your flowers in water, trim approximately 1–2 cm (½ inch) from the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle.

A diagonal cut increases the surface area, allowing the flowers to absorb more water and nutrients.

For the best results:

• Use sharp scissors or floral shears.
• Re-trim the stems every two to three days.
• Always trim before replacing the water.

This simple step can significantly extend the life of your bouquet.

3. Remove Leaves Below the Waterline

Any leaves sitting below the water should be removed.

Submerged foliage quickly decomposes, encouraging bacteria growth that blocks water absorption and shortens the life of your flowers.

Leave the healthy upper foliage intact, as it continues to support the flower while maintaining its natural beauty.

4. Choose the Right Location

Where you place your flowers matters.

Keep your arrangement away from:

• Direct sunlight
• Radiators and heaters
• Air-conditioning vents
• Fans and strong drafts
• Ripening fruit, which releases ethylene gas that speeds up flower ageing

Instead, display your flowers in a cool, shaded area where you can enjoy them throughout the day, such as a dining table, coffee table, entrance console, or office desk.

5. Give Your Flowers Room to Breathe

Every flower has its own natural lifespan.

In mixed arrangements, remove any blooms that begin to fade to help the remaining flowers stay fresh for longer.

Avoid overcrowding flowers into a vase that’s too small. Giving each stem enough space improves air circulation and allows every bloom to absorb water more efficiently.

6. Refresh Your Bouquet Regularly

To enjoy your flowers for as long as possible:

• Replace the water every one to two days.
• Wash the vase before refilling.
• Re-trim the stems.
• Remove faded flowers as needed.

These simple habits can add several extra days to the life of your arrangement.
