Flower Care Guide

Simple tips to keep your blooms looking fresh and beautiful for longer

Make Your Flowers Last

With proper care, your Bloomy Elite arrangement can stay fresh and vibrant for 7-14 days. Follow these simple steps to maximize their lifespan.

✂️

Trim the Stems

Cut 2-3cm off each stem at a 45° angle using sharp scissors. This increases water absorption.

💧

Fresh Water Daily

Change the water every 1-2 days. Use room temperature water and add the flower food packet.

🧹

Remove Foliage

Strip any leaves that fall below the waterline. Submerged foliage breeds bacteria.

🌡️

Cool Location

Display away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and ripening fruit.

💨

Mist Gently

Lightly mist the petals every other day to keep them hydrated.

🧴

Clean Vase

Wash your vase thoroughly before use. Bacteria from previous arrangements can contaminate fresh flowers.

Do's

  • Use a clean vase with fresh, room-temperature water
  • Re-cut stems every 2-3 days at an angle
  • Add flower food to nourish your blooms
  • Remove wilting flowers to protect others
  • Display in a cool, draft-free location
  • Keep water level topped up daily

Don'ts

  • Place near direct sunlight or heat sources
  • Put near ripening fruit (ethylene gas!)
  • Use ice cold or hot water
  • Forget to change the water regularly
  • Place in drafty areas or AC vents
  • Overcrowd flowers in a small vase
