Want to keep your bright and beautiful flowers for longer at home? Here are three quick tips from our floral pros.
1. Trim the stems: Trim at an angle to allow for better water absorption. Remove any leaves that will be submerged in the water to prevent bacterial growth. Flower food can also provide essential nutrients to help prolong the life of the flowers.
2. Change the water regularly: To prevent the growth of bacteria and keep the water fresh, change it every 2-3 days. Trim the stems again to ensure they can continue to absorb water effectively.
3. Place them strategically: Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight, heat sources and ripening fruits, as these can all cause the flowers to wilt more quickly. Instead, place them in a cool, well-ventilated area.

How do I keep cut flowers fresh?
Providing fresh and beautiful flowers for you to enjoy is the root passion of our floral department. Once you take your flowers home, keep these tips in mind to ensure your flowers stay fresh for as long as possible:
• Maintain fresh water and a clean vase every day to fend off bacterial growth, which leads to wilting.
• Cut your flower stems every two to three days at a 45-degree angle with a sharp instrument to help them efficiently absorb water.
• Keep your flowers in a friendly environment, away from heat, gusts of wind, fresh fruit and direct sunlight.
• Treat your flowers with commercial flower preservatives. These preservative mixtures help keep cut flowers fresh and healthy.
Where can I shop for fresh-cut flowers near me?
There are many places to purchase fresh-cut flowers, but it’s best to choose a vendor that performs the industry’s best practices. We partner with top growers, ensuring the grades of our flowers are at peak industry standards. So, for a fresh and beautiful selection, stop by our floral department ― we’ll help you find the perfect flowers for any occasion.
Do fresh-cut flowers need sunlight?
Indirect sunlight or shade is the best way to preserve fresh-cut flowers. Under prolonged direct sunlight or harsh light sources, the heat can cause wilting. To keep your flowers fresh, place them in a cool, naturally lit area.
What can I add to fresh-cut flowers?
Cut flowers require three things to stay fresh at home: sugar, citric acid and an antibacterial agent. These ingredients provide nourishment, optimize the water’s pH level and fight bacterial growth. There are many home remedies online, but commercial flower preservatives are a great solution to maintain the freshness of your cut flowers. Their mixture offers everything your flowers need to live their best lives.
