Great question! While some flowers last longer than others, flowers are living 3D art - and even though fresh flowers don't last forever, something isn't beautiful just because it lasts. When your BOKAY first arrives, be sure to put it in a clean vase with cool water and cut the stems with a sharp knife (be careful) and not scissors (which pinch the stems). In general, make sure you change the water in your vase every few days and cut the stems at an angle at the same time. Avoid direct sunlight or very hot or cold environments. Use flower food to extend the life of your flowers. Pro Tip: Keep your flowers away from fruit — this can make them wilt early!
