Care Tips For Your Flowers!
Flower arranging is not only fun and relaxing, but also, if you care for your flowers, they will last longer! Follow our SIMPLE tips to extend the life of your stems - and have a great time doing it. We also have included specific tips for specific flowers -- click on the photos below for more info!
1) Trim those stems! After taking your flowers out of the box, trim each stem. You probably knew that already... but did you know you should trim each stem on an angle? This increases the surface area for the flowers to drink the water.
2) HYDRATE! When you receive your flowers, they will be thirsty from transit. After trimming your stems, quickly put them into a vase with water. Pro tip: they actually don't need that much water in the vase, just make sure there is enough water to cover all the bottoms of all stems of the flowers.
3) Use flower food, or a creative at home flower solution! Your flowers will arrive with a packet of flower food - you can add about half upon arrival, and save the rest for later. But in case you run out of flower food: adding soda, vinegar, or even aspirin to your vase can help prolong the life of your flowers.
4) Change the water frequently. Every 1-2 days is best. This helps prevent bacteria and ensures your flowers always have enough to drink! Also, trim the stems about every three days, or when the ends are starting to look a little brown or gummy. Always trim on an angle!
5) Have fun arranging (and re-arranging)! We absolutely love playing around with flowers at ReVased. When we get a bouquet, we might change the design every time we trim our stems, putting our flowers in one large vase or several smaller ones, spreading the joy throughout our homes or offices.
6) Share the love! We love seeing how you've arranged your blooms! Share a pic with us (hi@revased.com) or tag us on social media @revasedflowers for a chance to be featured :)
