As soon as you receive your bouquet, keep them fresh by recutting the stems at 45 degree angle. This promotes maximum water absorption. Thoroughly clean your vase before use to avoid bacteria entering through the stems. This promotes long shelf life. Avoid placing flowers in direct sunlight or close to a radiator. This will prevent premature wilting. In 3 days time, remove your bouquet from the vase, recut the stems at the same angle by 1 cm - always use a sharp pair of scissors! (safely). Wash your vase to remove any bacteria that may have snuck in during the first few days, sprinkle your complimentary flower food and refill with fresh water. Make sure every stem is submerged below the water line, spritz with water if possible. Ensure they receive fresh air and plenty of love and they will continue to bless your home with their beauty for over 7 days.
