After you have unwrapped your bouquet, cut the stems at a 45-degree angle. We recommend using shears if you have them to ensure a cleaner cut.Trim the stems every couple days.

One of the best tips for getting the most enjoyment out of your flowers is to change the water daily with fresh, cold water. The water should look good enough to drink!

To ensure the water stays clean, remove any leaves or foliage from the stems that fall under the waterline of the vase.

Drop in the supplied flower food into your vase and follow the instructions on the packet (this helps your flowers last longer). If you need to make your own or run out, you can replicate at home by adding a couple of drops of bleach and a pinch of sugar to fresh water.

Place your flowers in the vase and keep them in indirect sunlight. If you'd like for your blooms to open up more quickly, perhaps for a special event, then use warm water to gently coax the blooms open.
