How to Keep a Fresh Flower Bouquet Beautiful for Longer

There is something unique about sending a stunning flower bouquet to the people you love. Whether you are looking to send a birthday gift, a Valentine’s surprise, or just a thank-you gesture, flowers do the job well. If you have received a flower bouquet delivery recently, the right aftercare matters the most. This is how your flowers stay fresh, vibrant, and hydrated as well, all day long.

The best part about a fresh flower bouquet is that it can instantly lift up the mood and vibe of any place. Give Your Flowers the Right Start

The first few hours after you’ve received the flowers are very crucial to extend their lifespan. If your blooms are wrapped, do not keep it longer in the package. Carefully remove the wrapping paper and check all the stems. If you wish, you can immediately put them in water and rehydrated it.

When the vase is not clean, and it is filled with bacteria of the old water, the chances of bouquet to lose its touch is higher. You have to ensure that the placement of the vase, and the quality of it, as well as the water is clean and fresh. 

It is better to order a fresh flower delivery, and arrange the flowers in water as soon as possible.

Trimming the Stems

One of the crucial ways of helping the flowers absorb fresh water is by trimming the stems appropriately. Make use of clean and sharp scissors and cut approx 1 to 2cm from the bottom of the stems.

Cutting from this angle makes the surface larger and water absorb more efficiently. Also, your stems will not sit completely flat in the vase. For the best results:

• Trim stems before you put them in the vase

• Get rid of any leaves lying in the waterline

• Only use clean scissors

• Avoid any transfer of bacteria

• Re-trim the stem every few days

Choose the Perfect Spot for Your Bouquet

Where you place the flower is crucial. If you keep it close to the window but direct exposure to sunlight, it is a problem. Too much heat will reduce the quality of the flower, and dehydrate it. While, at the same time, if its kept for too long in the AC, close to the vent, blooms will dry out. 

After flower bouquet delivery, always choose a cool temperature, but not too cold, not even in front of the AC or vent. Keep away from:

• Direct sunlight

• AC temperature and vents

• Fans

• Appliances that produces heat

• Open windows

Indirect light is a far better choice to keep your fresh flower bouquet Dubai longer in the weather.

Change the Water Regularly

Always change the water, and let it stays clean and healthy after recieving flower bouquet delivery. Do not simply top up the vase and overfill it. 

If you change the water, make sure you check the stems; if they have become slimy or soft, trim them and place the flowers back

Keep Your Bouquet Away From Fruit

Many people think keep the flowers close to a fruit basket will add to aesthetic appeal. They place both together on the coffee table, or desk, or even kitchen area and living room. This is a big reason to why the blooms don't last longer. 

There is a sort of gas that is released from fruits that are ripening. In that case, when you place blooms next to a fruit basket, it soaks the gas, resulting to the bouquet aging quickly. 

Remove Fading Flowers

Some blooms last longer, while some begin to fade early.

Remove ant dead flower, wilted flower, or flower which is about to lose its quality. If possible, rearrange the flowers in a smaller vase, and give the bouquet a second life instead.

Use Flower Food Correctly

Many fresh flower delivery providers offer flower food. This food contains all the nutrients and essential ingredients to make the bouquet last longer and in high quality.

Find the flower-food sachet in the bouquet, follow the instructions, and add accordingly. Do not experiment with it with your own ingredients at home.
