How to care for your flowers

Fresh flowers last longer with just a little everyday care. Start by trimming the stems at an angle before placing them in a clean vase with fresh water and flower food, which helps keep bacteria at bay. Change the water every two to three days and re-cut the stems to improve water uptake. Keep your flowers out of direct sunlight, away from heat sources and draughts, and remove any wilted blooms or leaves below the waterline as soon as you spot them. With these simple steps, your flowers will stay vibrant and beautiful for as long as possible.
