Flower and Plants Care Instructions


Flowers and plants enhance our living spaces with beauty and freshness. Proper care ensures their longevity and vibrancy. Whether you're tending to a bouquet or a potted plant, following these guidelines will help maintain their health and appearance.

Flower Arrangement Care Tips

  1. Trim the Stems: Upon receiving your bouquet, cut the stems at a 45-degree angle using sharp shears. This angle allows for better water absorption and prevents the stems from resting flat at the vase's bottom. Re-trim the stems every couple of days to maintain optimal hydration.
  2. Change Water Daily: Replace the vase water daily with fresh, cold water. Clean water prevents bacterial growth, which can shorten the lifespan of your flowers. Ensure the water is clear and free from debris.
  3. Use Flower Food: Add the provided flower food to your vase, following the packet's instructions. If you run out, you can create a homemade solution by adding a couple of drops of bleach and a pinch of sugar to fresh water. The bleach helps kill bacteria, and the sugar provides nutrients.
  4. Remove Submerged Foliage: Before placing flowers in the vase, remove any leaves that would be below the waterline. Submerged foliage can decay, promoting bacterial growth that harms the flowers.
  5. Positioning: Place your arrangement in a location with indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can cause wilting. If you want your blooms to open more quickly for a special occasion, use warm water to gently encourage them.
  6. Remove Expired Blooms: As individual flowers/blooms expire, remove them from the arrangement. This practice helps keep the remaining flowers fresh longer.

Plant Care Instructions

  1. Watering: Maintain soil moisture without overwatering. Test the soil's moisture by touching it; water when the top inch feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while underwatering may cause wilting.
  2. Light Requirements: Most plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. However, specific light needs can vary, so consult care instructions for your particular plant.
  3. Soil and Fertilization: Use well-draining soil to promote healthy root growth. Fertilize during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer, following the product's instructions.
  4. Pruning and Maintenance: Regularly remove dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
  5. Repotting: As plants grow, they may outgrow their current containers. Repot into a larger pot when you notice roots growing out of drainage holes or circling the soil surface.

By adhering to these care tips, your flower arrangements and plants will remain healthy and beautiful for an extended period. Proper maintenance not only enhances their aesthetic appeal but also promotes their overall well-being, allowing you to enjoy their presence in your space for as long as possible.
