Receiving a beautiful bouquet is always special. With proper care, you can help fresh flowers maintain their appearance and enjoy them for longer.
Different flower varieties have different needs, but a few simple habits can help keep many cut flowers looking fresh.
Use a Clean Vase
Before placing flowers in a vase, make sure it is thoroughly clean.
A clean vase and fresh water create a better environment for cut flowers and help reduce the buildup of unwanted bacteria.
Trim the Stems
Before placing your bouquet in water, carefully trim a small amount from the bottom of the stems at an angle.
This can help the stems take up water more effectively.
If your flowers have been in the same vase for several days, trimming the stems again when changing the water may also help.
Change the Water Regularly
Fresh, clean water is important.
Change the vase water regularly rather than allowing it to become cloudy. When changing the water, rinse the vase and remove any leaves that may sit below the water line.
Keep Flowers Away from Excessive Heat
Dubai and the UAE can become extremely warm, so indoor placement matters.
Avoid leaving fresh flowers in direct sunlight, next to hot windows, or close to strong heat sources.
A cooler indoor location away from direct sunlight can generally help cut flowers maintain their appearance.
Remove Fading Flowers
Some flowers may naturally fade before others.
Removing wilted or damaged flowers can help keep the remaining arrangement looking neat and attractive.
Start with Quality Flowers
Proper care is important, but freshness at the time of purchase also matters.
Dhat’s De Fleurs carefully sources fresh flowers from premium growers and creates handcrafted arrangements for customers across the UAE.
By combining quality flowers with simple home care, you can enjoy your bouquet and its beauty for longer.
