Simple care tips to help your fresh flowers last longer.
Flower Care
Every Flora Studio arrangement is designed with fresh, seasonal blooms selected for their beauty, texture, and character.
Flowers are naturally fleeting, but a little thoughtful care can help them stay fresh and beautiful for longer.
When Your Flowers Arrive
Your flowers have already been carefully prepared and arranged by the Flora Studio team.
Once they arrive, give them a quick check and make sure the water is fresh and plentiful. Remove any leaves or petals that have fallen into the water, and place your arrangement somewhere cool and comfortable.
From there, a few simple habits will do most of the work.
1. Keep the Water Fresh
Fresh water is one of the easiest ways to extend the life of your flowers.
Check the water level daily and replenish as needed. Every one to two days, replace the water completely whenever possible.
Keeping the vase and water clean helps prevent bacteria from building up around the stems.
2. Find the Right Spot
Flowers are happiest somewhere cool and away from harsh conditions.
Keep your arrangement out of direct sunlight and away from heating vents, fireplaces, strong air-conditioning, or other sources of heat and airflow.
A cooler spot will generally help your blooms last longer.
3. Give the Stems a Refresh
If your arrangement allows, trim a small amount from the bottom of the stems every few days.
Cutting the stems at an angle gives them a fresh surface to absorb water.
For arranged designs that are difficult to remove from their vessel, simply focus on keeping the water clean and full.
4. Remove Fading Blooms
Fresh flowers naturally open, soften, and fade at different rates.
As individual blooms begin to pass, gently remove them from the arrangement.
This keeps the overall design looking fresh and gives the remaining flowers a little more room to shine.
A Little Daily Care
A few small habits can make a noticeable difference:
Stay Hydrated
Check the water level daily and top it off whenever needed.
Fresh Is Best
Replace the water every one to two days to help keep bacteria from building up.
Give Them a Fresh Cut
Trim accessible stems every few days to help them continue drinking water.
Keep It Clear
Remove any leaves or loose petals that fall below the waterline.
Cool & Comfortable
Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight, heat, and strong airflow.
Edit as They Bloom
Gently remove fading flowers so the rest of the arrangement can keep shining.
If Your Flowers Begin to Wilt
Sometimes flowers simply need a drink.
Replace the water, trim accessible stems, and move the arrangement to a cool, shaded spot for a few hours. Remove any fading leaves or petals and let the flowers rehydrate.
Certain varieties naturally respond differently, so a bloom that looks a little tired does not always mean it has reached the end.
Flowers Are Meant to Change
Part of the beauty of fresh flowers is watching them evolve.
Some blooms open quickly, while others take a few days. Your arrangement may shift slightly from the day it arrives, revealing new shapes, colors, and textures as the flowers open.
That natural movement is part of what makes every Flora Studio arrangement unique.
FAQ
How often should I change the water?
We recommend refreshing the water every one to two days and checking the level daily.
Where should I keep my flowers?
Choose a cool area away from direct sunlight, heaters, fireplaces, and strong air-conditioning.
Should I trim the stems?
If the stems are easily accessible, trimming a small amount at an angle every few days can help them continue absorbing water.
Why are some flowers fading before others?
Different flower varieties naturally have different vase lives. Removing blooms as they fade will help the rest of the arrangement continue looking its best.
Can I add water without taking the arrangement apart?
Absolutely. For Flora Studio arrangements designed directly in a vessel, simply add fresh water carefully and regularly rather than disturbing the design.
How long should my flowers last?
Vase life varies by flower variety, season, temperature, and environment. Proper hydration and placement will help your flowers stay beautiful for as long as possible.
