Caring for fresh flowers at home Top tips from a Louth Florist

Fresh flowers can brighten any room, but with a little care, you can enjoy them for even longer. At Heritage Blooms, we prepare every bouquet to the highest standard, but following these tips will help keep them looking their best.

Tip 1 – Use a Clean Vase

Start with a thoroughly washed vase to prevent bacteria that can shorten the life of your flowers.

Tip 2 – Fresh, Cool Water

Fill your vase with fresh, cool water and add any flower food we provide. Change the water every 2–3 days.

Tip 3 – Trim the Stems

Using a sharp knife or scissors, cut about 2cm from the stems at a 45° angle before placing them in water. This helps the flowers absorb more water.

Tip 4 – Avoid Heat & Direct Sunlight

Keep your flowers away from radiators, direct sunlight, or draughts, which can cause them to wilt faster.

Tip 5 – Remove Fading Blooms

As flowers begin to fade, remove them from the arrangement to keep the rest looking fresh.
