Fresh flowers are delicate and continue to “drink” after delivery, so a little care makes a big difference. With clean water, a quick stem trim, and the right placement, your Rapid Petals bouquet stays brighter, crisper, and fragrant for longer. These simple care steps also reduce bacteria in the vase, helping your arrangement look fresh and beautiful day after day.

Step 1: Begin with a freshly washed vase

Before placing the bouquet, rinse a vase well with warm water and a little dish soap, then clean it again after every refill. This reduces germs in the water and helps the stems drink properly, so the flowers stay fresh for longer.

Step 2: Trim the stem correctly

Trim about 2–3 cm from the bottom at a 45° angle using clean scissors or a sharp knife. This opens the stem and helps the bouquet absorb water better.

Step 3: Use Fresh, Clean Water

Fill your vase with room temperature fresh water before placing the bouquet.
Replace the water every one to two days to keep it clear and healthy.
Rinse the vase each time you refill to prevent any buildup that can shorten the life of your flowers.

Step 4: Keep the Bouquet in a Cool Spot

Place your bouquet in a cool area with soft natural light.
Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, air conditioners, and fruits, as they can cause flowers to wilt faster.
A well ventilated room helps your flowers stay fresh and vibrant for a longer time.

Step 5: Remove Extra Leaves Below the Waterline

Before placing your bouquet in water, gently remove any leaves that would sit below the water level in the vase. Leaves submerged in water decay quickly and can cause bacteria to grow.

Keeping the stems clean below the waterline helps maintain fresh water and extends the life of your bouquet.

Step 6: Remove Wilting Flowers Promptly

Faded or drooping blooms can affect the freshness of the entire bouquet. As flowers begin to wilt, they may release bacteria that can spread to healthy stems.

Gently remove any browning petals or weak stems as soon as you notice them.

Summary: Removing spent flowers regularly keeps the arrangement looking fresh and helps the remaining blooms last longer.

Step 7: Refresh the Stems Every Two Days

To keep your bouquet looking fresh, trim a small portion of the stems every two days.
Cut about 1–2 cm at a slight angle using clean scissors.
This helps the flowers absorb water efficiently and stay hydrated for longer.

“With a little daily care, your bouquet will stay fresh, vibrant, and beautiful for many more days.”
