Clean the vase: Scrub it with soap and hot water to eliminate bacteria.

Use lukewarm water: Fill the vase with room-temperature water, as it absorbs easily.

Mix in flower food: Add the provided nutrient packet to feed the blooms and fight bacteria.

Trim at an angle: Cut 1–2 inches off the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle.

Use sharp tools: Use floral shears or a sharp knife instead of household scissors to avoid crushing the stems.

Strip lower leaves: Remove all foliage that falls below the waterline to prevent rotting and bacteria.

Avoid direct sunlight: Place your arrangement in a cool, shaded area.

Dodge extreme temperatures: Keep flowers away from heating vents, stoves, and drafts.

Keep away from fruit: Keep the vase away from ripening produce, which releases aging gases.

Refresh water regularly: Change the water completely every 1 to 2 days.

Re-trim the stems: Cut the stems slightly every time you change the water.

Prune dying blooms: Immediately pull out wilting petals or dead flowers to protect the healthy ones
