Flower Care & Tips
At Artisan Savant Floristry, we believe flowers are more than just decoration; they’re storytellers, mood lifters, and the ultimate statement of style. Whether you’ve received a hand-tied bouquet or a luxurious floral arrangement set in a vase or floral foam, here’s everything you need to know to keep them looking spectacular for as long as possible. And remember, if in doubt, ask! I’m always happy to share my floral wisdom.
Caring for Vase Arrangements
💦 Water, Water, Water! -Flowers are thirsty little things, so keep their vase topped up with fresh, clean water. Change it every two days (yes, they do notice!).
✂️ Snip, Snip! - Give stems a fresh diagonal cut every few days to help them drink better; think of it as their version of a spa day.
🚫 No Leaves Below the Waterline - Leaves left in the water breed bacteria. No one wants murky water, and your flowers certainly don’t either!
🌡️ Keep Cool & Comfy - Flowers hate extremes; no direct sunlight, no radiators, and definitely no fruit bowls (ripening fruit releases ethylene gas, which speeds up wilting).
🌿 Flower Food is Their Best Friend - Use the little sachet I provide, or make your own with a drop of bleach. Yes, bleach—trust me, it keeps the water fresher for longer!
Caring for Floral Foam Arrangements
💧 Top Up the Water Daily - Floral foam (that green spongy stuff) needs to stay moist to keep flowers hydrated. Pour water gently onto the foam every day.
🖐️ Hands Off! - Try not to poke or rearrange too much; floral foam holds stems in place, and too much fiddling can disrupt the magic.
🏡 Find the Perfect Spot - Just like vase arrangements, foam displays should be kept away from direct heat, strong draughts, or direct sunlight.
🚿 Mist Lightly - A little spritz of water on delicate blooms can help keep them perky for longer.
When to Say Goodbye
Sad but true; flowers don’t last forever. When they’ve reached their final curtain call, compost what you can and recycle the vase. Or, if you’re feeling creative, dry the petals and make your own potpourri. Waste not, want not!
