Easy Flower Care Tips That Actually Work
You’ve brought home a gorgeous bouquet, set it on the table, and within a few days… droop city. We get it; keeping flowers fresh can feel like a mystery. But don’t worry, you don’t need a green thumb or a degree in botany to make your blooms last longer.
At Suncrest Flowers, we not only design arrangements that start with fresh, in-season flowers but also make flower care simple and stress-free.
Start Fresh, Stay Fresh
Longevity begins at the shop. We use in-season blooms that are cut at just the right time so they have a longer vase life. Starting with high-quality flowers means you’re already ahead of the game.
Trim and Refresh
One of the easiest tricks? Give stems a fresh trim every couple of days. It helps them drink up water more efficiently. Bonus points if you use sharp scissors or clippers instead of crushing the stems with dull ones.
Clean Water, Happy Flowers
Change the vase water regularly, ideally every two days. Clean water prevents bacteria from building up and keeps your flowers standing tall.
Don’t Skip the Flower Food
Those little packets that come with your bouquet? They’re not optional. Flower food provides nutrients and slows bacteria growth, which means longer-lasting blooms.
Location, Location, Location
Keep your bouquet away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and fruit bowls (yes, fruit releases ethylene gas that can make flowers wilt faster). A cool, shaded spot works best.
Simple Care, Stunning Results
You don’t need complicated routines or special gadgets to keep your flowers looking fresh. With a few simple steps and Suncrest Flowers’ fresh, in-season blooms, your bouquet will stay beautiful for days longer.
FAQ: Flower Care Made Easy
How long should fresh flowers last?
With proper care, most bouquets can last 5–7 days or more, depending on the blooms.
Do I really need to trim the stems?
Yes! Freshly cut stems absorb water better, which helps flowers stay perky.
What if I don’t have flower food?
Changing the water often is the next best thing. Clean water is key.
Why shouldn’t I put flowers near fruit?
Fruit gives off ethylene gas, which makes flowers wilt faster.
