Here are some professional florist tips to extend the life of your fresh cut flowers:

Remove all the leaves that fall below the water line.

Re-cut the bottom of the stems diagonally using a sharp knife (no scissors).

Arrange the flowers in a clean, deep vase with luke-warm water.

Top up the water daily, but do not empty the vase otherwise you will lose all the plant food nutrients in the water.

Place your flowers in a temperate location away from electrical appliances and direct sunlight. Avoid particularly humid or drafty areas.

Follow these simple rules and you will get maximum life and enjoyment from your fresh flowers.
