Aftercare Tips

Help bouquets last longer and keep gift plants looking fresh.

A little care goes a long way with fresh flowers. Clean water, trimmed stems, the right placement, and a quick refresh every few days can help your arrangement stay attractive longer. Plant gifts also benefit from a simple care routine that matches the light and moisture needs of the variety you received.

For cut flowers

  • Use a clean vase with fresh water.
  • Trim stems at an angle before placing them back in water.
  • Keep the arrangement away from direct sun, drafts, and heat sources.

Refresh the arrangement

  • Change the water every couple of days.
  • Remove fading blooms or foliage below the water line.
  • Re-trim stems when the bouquet starts drinking more slowly.

For plant gifts

  • Match watering to the plant type instead of following a rigid daily schedule.
  • Provide the light level that suits the plant.
  • Avoid overwatering decorative planter gifts.

Make It Easier

Start with flowers that suit the setting.

If the arrangement will sit in a warm room, travel to a workplace, or stay in a care setting, choose a practical design size and style from the start. Our team can suggest bouquets that are easier to place and easier to enjoy.

For low-maintenance gifting, you may prefer plants and indoor planters or easy-care succulents.
