Do these once, then keep the water fresh and the vase away from heat.
Cut 2cm from each stem at an angle with sharp scissors. Remove any leaves that would sit below the water line.
Wash the vase with warm soapy water and rinse it well. A clean vase keeps bacteria out of the water.
Empty the sachet into the water and stir. Use the amount on the packet, not a guess.
Refresh the water and give the stems a fresh cut every two days. Keep the vase topped up in between.
Fruit gives off ethylene, which makes flowers fade. Keep the vase out of direct sun, radiators and draughts.
By flower
Different stems need slightly different treatment. Start with the care card in the box, then use these notes for the flowers you send most often.
01
Give a hand-tied bouquet a fresh cut and clean water the day it arrives. Keep the twine on so the shape holds.
02
Roses drink quickly. Change the water every two days, and trim the stems each time.
03
Tulips keep growing in the vase. Change the water often and use a tall vase so the stems stay straight.
04
Water a moth orchid sparingly. Let the compost dry out between drinks and keep it out of direct sun.
05
Keep dried stems away from damp and direct sun. Do not water them, and dust them gently with a soft brush.
