Flower Care Guide
Keep Your Blooms Fresh, Bright, and Beautiful
At Bee-Jays Delicatessen, we want your flowers to bring joy for as long as possible. With just a little extra care, your bouquet can stay fresh and vibrant for days to come. Follow these simple steps to get the best out of your blooms:
1. Trim the Stems
Upon arriving home, cut 1–2 cm off the stems at a diagonal angle. This helps the flowers absorb water more efficiently.
2. Use Clean Water & Vase
Always place your flowers in a clean vase filled with fresh, room-temperature water. Refresh the water every two days to keep bacteria at bay.
3. Add Flower Food
If flower food is provided, mix it into the water as directed. It nourishes your blooms and extends their vase life.
4. Remove Any Leaves Below the Waterline
Foliage sitting in water can promote bacteria growth. Strip away any leaves that would be submerged.
5. Keep Them Cool & Away from Direct Sunlight
Place your flowers in a cool area, away from direct sunlight, heaters, or draughts. This slows the aging process and keeps them looking their best.
6. Re-Trim as Needed
Every couple of days, re-trim the stems to keep the water flowing and the flowers hydrated.
