💦

These blooms have traveled long and far to get to your doorstep. Invite them in and offer them a glass of water (i.e., your favorite vase!) Any flat or draping petals will perk up with a little room-temp H₂O and a dash of flower food.

🌱

Remove any stray leaves and foliage from the stems. The key is this: you don’t want any foliage submerged in water!

✂️

Trim your stems at a 45⁰ angle to make sure they can drink up as much water as possible. Might we suggest a quick trim and some fresh water every few days? This will keep your flowers refreshed and hydrated for longer!

💐

Find a home for your arrangement! These flowers prefer cool places away from direct sunlight or open flames.
