Once you've received a beautiful bouquet of luxury flowers or an elegant plant, you'll want to keep them looking their best for as long as possible. Follow our handy care instructions below to ensure you can enjoy your blooms for longer.

  • 1. Prepare the Vase:

    Start by thoroughly washing and rinsing your vase, avoiding the use of metal vases as they can affect nutrient value. Fill the vase half full with fresh lukewarm water.

  • 2. Bouquet Arrangement:

    Remove all packaging and trim 2-3cm off the stems at a 45-degree angle to enhance water absorption. Maintain the bouquet's integrity by leaving the string on initially. For a more natural look, you can cut the string after the flowers are in the vase.

  • 3. Ideal Placement:

    Place your flowers in a cool spot, avoiding direct sunlight, radiators, or drafty areas, to avoid wilting. Also, keep them away from fruit bowls, as fruit releases ethylene gas, which can age your flowers.

Plant care guide

  • 1. Watering:

    To determine when your plant needs water, check the soil's top 1-2 inches. Water if it feels dry; otherwise, wait a few days. Minimize mess by watering in the sink , allowing drainage for a few minutes. In winter, reduce watering frequency .

  • 2. Light:

    Choose plants based on your home's light conditions, adjusting plant placement accordingly.

  • 3. Soil & Food:

    Different plants prefer various soils. Generally, indoor soil contains peat moss, vermiculite, and perlite. Feed plants every two weeks during spring and summer, their peak growing seasons.

  • 4. Repotting:

    Repotting is essential for a thriving plant. Fill a larger planter, gently remove the plant, place it in the new pot, and cover with soil. Water and pat the soil down.

  • 5. Climate:

    Increase humidity with misting, pebble trays, or humidifiers. Placing plants in naturally humid rooms like bathrooms is beneficial to some plants. In summer, check soil moisture more frequently.

  • 6. Care:

    Regularly dust plant leaves to maintain their health; a quick rinse or wipe with a damp cloth works wonders. And if your plant appears wilted or droopy, it likely needs a good drink.
