Cool, clean water

Step-by-Step Flower Care Guide

Trim the Stems
Cut stems at a 45-degree angle under running water. This increases water absorption and prevents air bubbles.
Remove Lower Leaves
Remove any leaves that will be below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
Use Flower Food
Add flower food to your water to provide essential nutrients and prevent bacterial growth.

Pro Tip: Change the water every 2–3 days and re-trim the stems to keep your flowers looking fresh.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Placing flowers in direct sunlight
Using dirty vases
Forgetting to change water regularly
Placing flowers near fruit (which releases ethylene gas)

Special Care for Different Flower Types

Different flowers have unique care requirements. Roses, for instance, need more frequent water changes.
