A. Inspect the Bouquet Immediately
Upon receiving your floral arrangement, take a few moments to inspect it closely:
- Check for any broken stems or damaged blooms that may have occurred during transit.
- Remove any loose leaves or debris from the bouquet to maintain its aesthetic appeal.
- If you notice significant damage, don’t hesitate to contact JustFlowers.com customer service promptly for assistance.
B. Trim the Stems
Properly trimmed stems are crucial for the bouquet’s hydration and longevity:
- Cut the stems diagonally using a sharp knife or scissors to ensure a clean cut.
- Remove approximately 1-2 inches from the bottom of each stem to facilitate better water absorption.
- This simple step helps prevent wilting and enhances the flowers’ overall lifespan.
C. Remove Excess Foliage
To maintain water quality and prevent bacterial growth, it’s important to remove excess foliage:
- Eliminate any leaves that will be submerged in the vase’s water.
- Submerged leaves can deteriorate quickly and contaminate the water, affecting the bouquet’s health.
Optimal Storage Conditions
To keep your JustFlowers.com bouquet looking fresh and vibrant, it’s crucial to store it correctly. Here are some tips for optimal storage conditions:
A. Choose a Suitable Vase
Selecting the right vase is key to ensuring the bouquet’s stability and hydration:
- Pick a clean vase with a narrow opening that can support the stems upright.
- Ensure the vase is tall enough to accommodate the bouquet’s height without overcrowding.
B. Fill with Fresh, Cool Water
Proper hydration is essential for flower longevity:
- Fill the vase with clean, lukewarm water, reaching approximately 2/3 full.
- Avoid using cold water, as it can shock the flowers and impede water absorption.
C. Add Floral Preservative
The floral preservative provided by JustFlowers.com plays a vital role in extending the bouquet’s lifespan:
- Follow the instructions on the preservative packet to mix it into the water.
- This solution helps nourish the flowers and maintains their freshness for a more extended period.
