Receiving a stunning flower bouquet is such a delightful experience. Especially if you're lucky enough to receive it from Melbourne Florist Corner By Plant Parent.101 (😅 a cheeky plug for Florist Corner by Plant Parent.101). We want you to savour the time to enjoy your flowers for as long as possible, so we've created a short and easy step-by-step guide on caring for your fresh blooms to ensure they stay vibrant and beautiful so you can enjoy your floral arrangement to the fullest.

Step 1: Choose a Suitable Vase

• Select a clean vase that is the right size and shape for your flowers. Make sure it's free of any dirt or residue.

Step 2: Fill with Fresh Water

• Fill the vase with room-temperature water. Ensure it's not too hot or cold, as extreme temperatures can shock the flowers as they are sensitive to environmental changes.

Step 3: Add Flower Food

• If your Melbourne Flower Delivery includes flower food, mix it with the water according to the instructions on the packet. Flower food helps nourish the blooms and extend their freshness, but if you don't have any on hand, here's a florist tip for you: add a few drops of household bleach to the water, which will keep the harmful bacteria from growing. Who would have thought placing your flowers into water containing bleach would be good?

Step 4: Trim the Stems

• Using pruning shears, cut about an inch off the bottom of each flower stem at a diagonal - this will create a fresh surface for water absorption. 

Step 5: Keep Away from Direct Sunlight

• Place the vase away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. A cool room with indirect light is ideal for flower longevity.

Step 6: Change the Water Regularly

• Change the water every 2-3 days or when it starts to look cloudy. Be sure to re-cut the stems each time you change the water.

Step 7: Maintain Proper Water Level

• Ensure the vase always has enough water to submerge the bottom of the stems. Flowers are thirsty, and keeping them well-hydrated is essential.

Step 9: Enjoy and Appreciate

• Admire your fresh flowers from Florist Corner By Plant Parent.101 regularly. With proper care, they should stay vibrant and beautiful for several days to a week.

Remember, different flowers have different care requirements, so it's always a good idea to ask your Melbourne florist for specific care instructions when purchasing. By following these simple steps and the guidance of your trusted Melbourne Florist, you can extend the life of your flower bouquet and keep your living space adorned with nature's beauty.
