Flower Care

Floral Affairs want you to get the most smiles & enjoyment out of your fresh flowers!
Here are some Floral Affairs tips on keeping your flowers looking as fresh as possible for the longest time.

For bouquets, bunches & cut flowers: 

• Cut the stems about 2 cms on a sharp angle. This increases the volume ratio so your flowers can drink more water.
• Add the complimentary preservative sachet into a clean vase filled with freshwater and allow a moment for the crystals to dissolve.
• Strip away any leaves that would be below the waterline of your vase.
• Place flowers in a vase
• Top up daily with fresh water
• Keep away from draughts, direct sunlight and heat.
• Repeat this process every two days so that your flowers can keep drinking water.
• As your flowers get shorter over time, place them into a shorter vase or container. \

For flowers that are arranged in a box, pot or basket with floral foam:

• Check the level of water in the foam regularly.
• Top up the container with fresh water daily.
• If your flowers are beginning to droop, take them out of the foam, cut the stems substantially at the point where the stems are still green.
• Place them back into the foam, or get creative and re-arrange the whole arrangement or feel free to place your freshly cut stems into a vase for longer life.
