Flower care tips from the pros

Receiving flowers can truly be a delightful treat! Keep the excitement and beauty of a beautiful arrangement lasting with a few important tips from French Florist. We want you to enjoy your blooms as long as possible.

When you receive a bouquet as darling and sentimental as our Heavy Glass Vase of South American Roses, you'll want to keep them as fresh and crisp as possible. Following these simple steps will be the difference between enjoying your blooms for a few days or a few weeks.

  • Upon arrival, remove all packaging and trim an inch from the stems on a diagonal underwater.
  • Mix flower food or preservative into lukewarm water.
  • Place flowers in vase with lukewarm water and remove all leaves and petals that fall below the waterline to avoid bacteria, which causes wilting.
  • Change water in vase and re-cut stems every other day to remove bacteria and maintain freshness.
  • Keep flowers in a cool, dry place away from drafts, heat and direct sunlight.

French Florist recommends following these steps regularly to maximize the vase life of your flowers. Their enduring beauty will be all yours with a little purposeful effort. Talk to us about other tricks and tips for various flowers. We're here to help!

The Poinsettia shares December with The Narcissus flower as December's Plant. The beautiful foliage is actually specialized leaves, called bracts, not petals. The plant is the most popular planted pot in the United States! #flowerofthemonth #December #holiday #festive #flowermeanings #christmastime
