  • Fresh cut flowers should be kept in a cool place between 65 - 72 degrees. They should be kept out of direct sunlight and away from objects that put off heat. Too much heat will cause flowers to dehydrate and shorten the life of the flowers.
  • If your flowers are vased, change the water when it becomes cloudy. Recut each stem before reinserting it into the vase. Be sure there are no leaves below the water line as this causes bacteria growth in your water.
  • If your flowers are in foam, be sure to keep the foam wet.
