Trim the stems at a 45-degree angle. Remove any leaves that fall below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
Change the water completely every three days, rinsing the vase thoroughly each time.
Place your bouquet in a cool location away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and ripening fruit.
Mist the petals lightly with water to maintain hydration, but avoid spraying open blooms directly.
With proper care, most fresh bouquets will last longer than 7-10 days.
