Flower Care Instructions
If you've received flowers from Pick a Posy, we want you to enjoy them for as long as possible! Follow our simple flower care instructions below to help keep your blooms looking fresh.
For all fresh flowers, display them in a cool location away from draughts, direct sunlight, heaters and ripening fruit.
Select the type of flowers you received below for care instructions:
🌸 Bouquet or Posy
Remove the wrapping your flowers arrived in, but leave the tying ribbon around the stems in place to keep the bouquet beautifully arranged.
Re-cut approximately 1cm from the ends of the stems on an angle before placing your flowers into a clean vase filled with fresh water.
Change the water every second day and re-cut the stems when you do.
🌸 Bouquet in a Carry Bag or Bloom Box
Your flowers will arrive with approximately two days' worth of water around the stems.
You can enjoy your bouquet in its carry bag or Bloom Box by carefully topping up the water bag with approximately ½ cup of fresh water as needed.
Alternatively, remove the bouquet from the box or bag, remove the water bag, re-cut the stems and place the flowers into a clean vase with fresh water.
Check and refresh the water every second day.
🌸 Arrangement in Floral Foam
Keep the floral foam moist by carefully pouring approximately ½ cup of fresh water into the foam each day.
Take care when adding water, as the container may overflow if the foam is already well hydrated.
🌸 Bloom Bag
Your Bloom Bag will arrive with a water source around the ends of the stems.
Remove the flowers from the Bloom Bag, remove the packaging and water source, then re-cut approximately 1cm from the ends of the stems on an angle.
Place the flowers into a clean vase filled with fresh water and change the water every second day.
🌸 Bouquet in a Vase
Your flowers are ready to enjoy!
Keep the vase topped up with fresh water and change the water every second day.
Re-cutting approximately 1cm from the stems on an angle when you change the water can also help your flowers stay fresh for longer.
🪴 Plant
Your plant will arrive with its own care card containing instructions specific to the variety you've received.
A Little Extra Flower Care Tip
Remove any fading flowers or foliage as your arrangement ages. This helps keep the remaining flowers looking their best.
With a little care, we hope you enjoy your beautiful Pick a Posy flowers for as long as possible.
