Care Instructions
Follow these simple steps to ensure your blooms last as long as possible.
1. Trim the Stems
Every 2-3 days
Cut about an inch off the stems at a 45-degree angle. This prevents the stems from sitting flat on the bottom of the vase, allowing for maximum water absorption.
2. Fresh Water
Daily
Change the water completely every single day. Wash the vase with soap and warm water before refilling to prevent bacterial growth.
3. Perfect Placement
Cool & shaded
Keep your flowers out of direct sunlight, away from heat sources like appliances, and avoid placing them near ripening fruit which emits ethylene gas.

Dried vs. Fresh Flowers
Fresh Flowers provide vibrant colors, incredible fragrances, and soft textures. They require regular water changes and typically last 5-10 days depending on the variety and care.
Dried & Preserved Flowers (like Pampas grass, dried lavender, and preserved roses) offer a muted, earthy aesthetic. They require zero water, zero maintenance (just occasional light dusting), and can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years. They are perfect for long-term home decor.
