Carefully remove all packaging from your flowers. Please do not remove the string or elastic band from a hand-tied bouquet, as this holds the bouquet together in its arranged shape. Strings and elastic bands can be removed once the flowers are in the vase.
Cut approx. 2-3cm at an angle with a sharp pair of scissors, secateurs or knife from the base of each stem. Cutting at an angle will result in a larger surface area from which your flower can drink.
Place the bouquet in a clean vase filled with fresh water.
Arrange your flowers in your vase and display them somewhere away from draughts, direct sunlight, heat sources and ripening fruit – all of these factors affect how long your flowers will last.
Re-cut the stems every 3 days and change the water. Top up the vase with water when necessary.
