Flower Care: Basket

Keep your flowers beautiful and fresh with these tips and tricks from our flower experts for Flower Baskets.

Remember, the basket is reusable! To ensure its usability, keep your basket in a cool and dry room or shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight, extreme heat, dust, and water. All of these may make your basket fade and brittle over time.

Place in a clean vase 💐

Store the flowers in a clean vase filled with cold tap water up to two-thirds full. The cleaner your vase, the lesser the bacteria and the longer your flowers bloom.

Change the water every 2-3 days ✨

Make sure to keep the vase clean and change the water regularly. This is to prevent bacteria build-up on the stems. Dirty water will block the stems and hamper hydration. 

Re-cut stems ✂️

By cutting the flower stems just before placing them back in a fresh batch of water, you remove the tissue on old stem cuts and expose new ones. This ensures good water absorption, thus boosting their hydration and longevity. You should cut the flower stems around two inches from the bottom of the vase.

Pro Tip:

Cut the stems at an angle and repeat every few days. Doing this gives your flowers as much surface area as possible to drink. #StayHydrated

Remove wilting petals 🥀

Flowers bloom and wilt at different times. When a flower begins to wilt, remove the petals or the whole flower from the arrangement. Removing wilted flowers can help avoid the spread of bacteria to the other flowers.

Mist flowers daily 💦

Spray with clean tap water once a day to give the flowers extra hydration. Flowers can absorb water from places other than the base of its stems. Use a bottle with a fine mist setting and spray from 6 inches to 1 foot away from the flowers to ensure an even coverage.
