Flower Care
A quiet method for keeping your arrangement at its best — from our florists to you.
On Arrival
Unwrap slowly. Place the arrangement in a cool room, away from direct sun and drafts.
The First Water
Fill a clean vase with cool, filtered water. Change water every 48 hours to keep it clear.
Trim Every Two Days
With sharp scissors, cut 1cm from each stem at a 45° angle under running water. This reopens the vessels.
Remove Fallen Leaves
Any leaf below the waterline should be removed — leaves in water shorten longevity.
Avoid Fruit & Heat
Ripening fruit emits ethylene which shortens bloom life. Keep arrangements away from fruit bowls and radiators.
Rotate the Vase
Turn the vase a quarter each day — the flowers open toward the light and will otherwise lean.
A note on longevity.
Roses
Trim daily. Remove outer 'guard petals' if bruised — the bloom beneath is often perfect. Roses last 5–7 days with care.
Peonies
Peonies open dramatically. Enjoy the first three days of the bud, and the following days of the full bloom. 4–6 days.
Orchids
Orchids prefer indirect light and gentle water. Mist the petals lightly every second day. Lasts 2–3 weeks.
Hydrangea
Submerge the entire head briefly under cool water if drooping. They drink through the petals as well.
Tulips
Continue to grow after cutting. Trim daily; they will move toward light beautifully.
If your Lili Flowers do not last at least five days, we will replace them. Composed the morning of delivery — always.
