Cut Flower Care 

 

              

         

 

Check Flowers Daily
Keep the vase or container filled with fresh water.  Even if there is foam in the container
keep the water level high.  Add commercial flower food when you change the water.
Flower food may be included with your flower arrangements.  Flower food will prevent
bacterial blocking of the stems, tease the buds to open and increase the life of your
flower arrangements.  
Re-cut Stems
Every couple of days re-cut the stems on an angle to give the flowers a good chance of
taking in water.  Remove damaged foliage or blooms that have fallen into the water. This 
would be the best time to change the water also.  If you wish to keep the flowers at the
same positions they came in originally, tie the arrangement with twine near the top and 
re-cut the stem bottoms, keeping the lengths the same.  
Change Water and Add Food
Clean the vase or container before changing the water.  The water should be room-temperature.
Add the recommended amount of flower food.  Clean any dead leaves or spent blooms before
returning the flowers to their container.  
Display Your Flower Arrangement
Flower arrangements do their best when kept in a cool environment.  Display your flowers
away from direct light and also away from a/c vents or a drafty area.  Also avoid the top of
an appliance such as a refrigerator or TV which gives off heat and can shorten your flower's life.
