Flower Care

1. Trim the Stems
Before you place your Posy in water, trim about 1–2cm off the bottom of the stems at a 45° angle. This helps the flowers drink more efficiently and keeps them happier for longer.
2. Use Fresh, Clean Water
Fill your vase with fresh, room-temperature water and change it every 2–3 days. Clean water prevents bacteria from building up and keeps stems hydrated. If you’ve got flower food, add it in — it’s a little boost that helps flowers last longer.
3. Keep Them Cool
Place your flowers somewhere cool and out of direct sunlight. Avoid heat sources like heaters, radiators, or ovens — and try not to put them near fresh fruit, which can release ethylene gas and speed up ageing.
4. Remove Foliage Below the Water Line
Any leaves or petals that sit in the water can cause bacteria to grow. Before placing your Posy in a vase, remove foliage that would otherwise sit below the water line. It’s a small step that makes a big difference.
5. Refresh as Needed
As time goes on, you might notice petals dropping or blooms opening more fully — that’s normal! Simply remove any spent flowers and give the water a refresh to keep the rest looking good.
