We've got you covered with the thoughtful basics you need to know in order to best care for your new bouquet or plant. Upon receiving your botanical treasures, it's imperative to provide them with proper care to ensure their longevity. Begin by trimming the stems diagonally, which increases the surface area for water absorption. Immerse the cut stems in a clean vase filled with fresh water, adding a nourishing flower food to promote vitality. Keep your flowers in a cooler area away from direct sunlight, drafts, and ripening fruit, which can release ethylene gas that accelerates wilting. Regularly change the water and re-cut the stems every few days to maintain freshness and prevent bacterial growth. By adhering to these guidelines, you can prolong the vibrant life of your floral arrangement.

We recommend bringing in your flowers and unboxing as soon as they arrive at your doorstep. Flowers thrive best in conditions that mimic their natural habitat, which typically means avoiding extremes of temperature and ensuring adequate humidity. By controlling these elements, flower enthusiasts can significantly enhance the longevity and vibrancy of their floral displays.

Floral gifting is a cherished ritual, steeped in symbolism and shared history. Understanding which flowers correspond to specific occasions ensures a thoughtful exchange, enhancing the personal connection between giver and receiver. While red roses universally symbolize love and passion, different occasions call for a nuanced palette. For instance, try giving pink roses as an expression of gratitude, or yellow chrysanthemums to communicate cheerful friendship. These subtleties in flower choice resonate deeply with those who receive them, embodying the intended sentiment with precision.
