Care of your Flowers

From the grower, to our store, to you – our reputation rides on delivering the very best product. That’s why, for the short time your flowers are with us, we store most of them in our purpose-built flower chiller, maintained at 2-4°C, with a relative humidity of 80-90%.

Flowers don't last for ever but these tips will keep them looking their best for 4-7 days:

    1. Clean your vase to remove any bacteria or fungi that might ruin your flowers.
    2. Use warm water and let it sit for a few minutes so all the air bubbles can escape.
    3. Cut the stems at a 45-degree angle, under running water if possible. This creates a wide opening to the xylem (where the flowers drink up water) and keeps air bubbles to a minimum so they don't block the water pathways.
    4. Keep away from fruit. Fruits produce ethylene, which tells a plant to ripen, and that will shorten the life span of your flowers.
    5. Place in a cool position. If you're leaving the house for a day or two, you can put your flowers in the fridge (away from fruit). The cold reduces microbial growth and the metabolic rate of your flowers, extending their life!
    6. Keep away from direct sunlight, drafts and air-conditioning.
    7. Maintain adequate water levels and change the water completely every two days.
