Fresh flowers don't last forever, which is part of their appeal. We guarantee that our bouquets will stay fresh for at least a week but with these extra tips you can enjoy their magic a few days longer.

Care for different flowers

Roses

Remove any submerged leaves in the water so that your roses don't rot. Also removes the less attractive outer petals called safety petals, which protect the roses during shipping. Remove any withered petals with care: roses are easily bruised.

Lilies

Some lilies will arrive closed so they don't get damaged during shipping. If you want to speed up their opening, place them in a warm area of the house. Removing their stamens can also help your lilies last longer and prevent pollen from weakening their petals.

Gerberas

Gerberas can last up to 2 weeks! They consume water quickly: make sure you fill the vase regularly. Additionally, gerberas will begin to bend if the water isn't clean enough. Avoid this by cutting the stems diagonally every 2 days.

Tulips

Tulips have a tendency to twist their stem towards sunlight: you can turn the vase once a day to avoid it. To accelerate the opening process if they arrive closed, add a little warm water to the vase.

Curiosities about the flowers that have just arrived
