Flower Care

With proper care, most fresh-cut flowers last 7 to 10 days. Some varieties like carnations and chrysanthemums can last up to two weeks, while more delicate blooms may have shorter lifespans. Following our care tips will help extend the life of your arrangement.

To keep your flowers fresh longer:

  • Keep them in a cool location away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and fruit bowls
  • Change the water every 2-3 days
  • Trim the stems at an angle each time you change the water
  • Remove any leaves that fall below the waterline
  • Use the flower food packet if provided

You can refrigerate your flowers overnight to extend their life — florists do this too. Just keep them away from fruit, which releases ethylene gas that shortens flower life. Note: Do not refrigerate tropical flowers like orchids, as cold temperatures will damage them.

Wilting is usually caused by dehydration. Try re-cutting the stems at a 45-degree angle and placing them in fresh, clean water. Make sure no leaves are submerged, and move the arrangement away from heat sources or direct sunlight.
