Choose a vase that will cover at least half the height of the tulips to offer them support. They can look pretty bending in a shorter vase but won’t last as long.

Remove the extra leaves from the base of the stem and plunge into cold water with flower food. Top up with cold water every day as this will help keep the stems fresh and crisp. Display them somewhere cool and preferably on their own as they release a substance that causes other blooms to wilt faster.

Before placing your lilies in fresh water with your
cut-flower feed, make sure you remove any leaves from below the water line – and that the vase is sturdy enough to take the height and heft of the stems!

Lilies need sun to grow, but once cut, they’ll do best in a cool place out of direct sunlight. Pinch off the pollen as you don’t want any to get on the flower’s petals as it can shorten the time your flowers will look their best.

Lisianthus require a lot of water, so keep an eye on water levels and top up regularly, remembering to clean the vase each time and topping up with flower food every 2-3 days.

Keep away from direct light, draughts or radiators as lisianthus will deteriorate quickly in these environments. Good care will be rewarded as they can last anywhere from 10 days to 2 weeks and beyond!

Boston Ferns enjoy weekly watering sessions, keeping their soil moist but not wet and avoiding letting the pot sit in water. Mist regularly to keep humidity levels high and position in a bright spot, but with indirect light – bathrooms are ideal.

Avoid watering from above, keep your can
at soil level just above their roots and note that yellowing or wilted leaves is usually a sign of overwatering, so be quick to adjust your watering routineif needed. A quick touch of the soil should let you know.

Despite their delicate crepe-like flowers, ranunculus can actually last quite a long time if properly cared for. Don’t be alarmed if they arrive a little droopy, they just need a good drink.

Trim the stems at an angle and place in lukewarm water. Keep them out of direct sunlight and draughts and ensure they use the other blooms in your bouquet as support, without crowding
them.

One of our most popular flowers, the rose is very simple to care for. Regular fresh water is key, at least every 1-2 days, as roses resting in stale water will wilt rapidly.

They will always benefit from the flower food provided with your bouquet too and make sure to use very sharp secateurs when cutting the stems to avoid tearing or damaging the tip. Trim the lower leaves; any leaves sat in water will rot quickly, causing your rose heads to droop and contaminating other flowers in the display.
