Are there any specific care instructions for the flowers?

When it comes to caring for flowers from Flowers.com, proper maintenance is essential to ensure they remain fresh and vibrant for as long as possible. First and foremost, the recipient should prepare a clean vase filled with fresh, cool water. It is important to cut the stems at an angle, about one to two inches from the bottom. This allows for better water absorption. The water should be changed every twenty-four to forty-eight hours to prevent any bacterial growth, which can shorten the life of the flowers. While changing the water, it is advisable to re-cut the stems in order to maximize their ability to take in water. Additionally, removing any leaves that may be submerged in the water will help maintain cleanliness and prolong freshness. Flowers should generally be placed in a cool area away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts. It is important to be aware that certain varieties may have different temperature preferences and sensitivities, so keeping an eye on their condition is a good practice. The use of flower food, often included in the delivery, is also recommended as it provides essential nutrients and helps maintain clarity in the water. To ensure the best care for the flowers, the recipient can refer to the specific recommendations that may accompany the arrangement. For further information on care instructions or specific flower types, checking the website for additional tips is always a good idea.
