To keep these blossoms vibrant and fresh for as long as possible, a little care and attention are required.

Here are expert tips on how to preserve the beauty of your delivered flowers from FloraSwift Singapore:

1. Prepare the Perfect Home

Upon the arrival of your flowers, preparing the right environment is crucial. Choose a clean vase and fill it with fresh, lukewarm water. Your flowers will come with a packet of flower food, make sure to dissolve it in the water according to the instructions. This step is vital as it provides the nutrients your flowers need to stay fresh.

2. A Fresh Cut

Before placing your flowers in the vase, give them a fresh cut. Using sharp scissors or gardening shears, trim an inch off the stems at a 45-degree angle. This increases the surface area for water intake and prevents the ends from resting flat at the bottom of the vase, ensuring better water absorption.

3. Remove Excess Leaves

Any leaves that will sit below the waterline in the vase should be removed. Leaves submerged in water can rot quickly, leading to bacterial growth that can harm the flowers. This simple step can significantly extend the life of your bouquet. ( For bouquet, not required)

4. Choose the Right Spot

Where you place your flowers can greatly affect their lifespan. Avoid direct sunlight, drafts, or heat sources, as these can cause the flowers to dehydrate and wilt prematurely. Similarly, keep the bouquet away from fruit bowls, as ripening fruits release ethylene gas that can cause flowers to age faster.

5. Regular Maintenance

Change the water in the vase every two days or anytime it starts to look cloudy. With each water change, trim the stems slightly and remove any wilting or dead flowers to prevent bacterial growth. This not only keeps the water clean but also encourages the flowers to absorb more water and nutrients.

6. Embrace Flower Food

If your flowers came with a packet of flower food, make sure to use it as directed. If you run out, you can make a homemade version by mixing 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of bleach, and 2 teaspoons of lemon or lime juice into a liter of water. This concoction provides the nutrients your flowers need while keeping the water clean and acidic, which enhances water uptake.

7. Enjoy Mindfully

Finally, take the time to enjoy your floral arrangement. Flowers have the remarkable ability to uplift spirits and improve the ambiance of any space. By following these care tips, you ensure that your flowers from FloraSwift Singapore remain a source of beauty and joy for as long as possible.

Caring for your delivered flowers is an art that combines science, dedication, and a touch of love. By following these simple steps, you can significantly extend the life and beauty of your floral arrangements, allowing you to savor the natural splendor of Singapore's flora right in your own home.
