Care Guide
Flower Care
To enjoy your flowers at their most beautiful, please follow our care recommendations:
- Gently lift the bouquet from its bag or box and remove the paper wrapping and
hydration pack. - Keep the binding string in place to preserve the hand-crafted design.
- Remove any foliage that would sit below the waterline to help keep the water clear
and fresh. - Fill a clean vase with lukewarm water and add the provided flower food.
- Trim each stem at an angle with clean scissors or secateurs to the desired length for
your vase, splitting any woody stems to aid water absorption, and then place the
bouquet into the prepared water. - Ensure the water level reaches all stems, including the shorter ones.
- Position your flowers away from direct sunlight, draughts and heat sources such as
radiators. - Refresh the water and re-trim the stems every two to three days to prolong their beauty.
When properly cared for, a mixed bouquet should last approximately five to seven days.
Individual flowers may fade at different times, simply remove them as the bouquet matures.
Orchid Plant Care
Our orchid plants are selected for their exceptional quality and elegance. With care, they will
continue to grace your space for weeks to come:
continue to grace your space for weeks to come:
- Position your orchid in a bright, well-lit spot, avoiding direct sunlight.
- Keep away from draughts and extreme temperatures (below 12°c or above 25°c).
- Water or mist the roots and leaves regularly, approximately once a week, taking care
to avoid the flowers. The roots should remain lightly moist but never sit in standing
water. - Gently wipe dust from the leaves as needed to allow maximum light absorption.
With cared for correctly, orchid blooms should last around four weeks. Once the flowering
has finished, trim the stem back to the third node above the leaves – with time, a new flower
may emerge.

- Cut the flower stems on an angle and split woody stems with scissors. Trim to the right length for your vase.
- Pour the flower food into your chosen vase and fill with freshly‐drawn, lukewarm water.
- Place the flowers in the vase ensuring the water is high enough to reach any shorter stems.
- Position the flowers away from direct sunlight, draughts, radiators or air conditioning.
