Practical guidance
What to know before you order.
These notes are written for real customer decisions, not generic flower advice.
Step 01
Start with clean water and a clean vessel
If the design is wrapped, move it into a clean vase as soon as possible. If it arrives in a box or basket, check the water source gently without pulling the design apart.
- Use cool clean water and avoid softened or heavily scented water.
- Remove leaves that would sit below the water line.
- Keep foam or water sources hydrated without flooding the container.
Step 02
Give stems a small fresh cut
A fresh angled trim helps stems drink after travel. Work slowly so the original shape of the arrangement stays intact.
- Trim about half an inch from loose bouquet stems.
- Use clean scissors or floral shears.
- Do not force short stems out of designed boxes or baskets.
Step 03
Choose the room carefully
Fresh flowers last longer away from heat, direct sun, appliances, and strong airflow. This matters especially for Los Angeles homes and offices in warm weather.
- Avoid sunny windows, heaters, and hot car interiors.
- Keep flowers away from ripening fruit.
- Move arrangements to a cooler room overnight when practical.

Questions
Quick answers for this flower decision.
Use these answers to decide whether to order online or call the studio first.
How often should I change flower water?
For loose bouquets, refresh water daily or every other day. For designed boxes or baskets, add small amounts of water as needed so the water source stays damp but not overflowing.
Should fresh flowers go in the refrigerator?
A cool room is usually safer for home care. Household refrigerators can be too cold, too dry, or too close to produce that shortens flower life.
Can Lina Flowers explain care for a specific arrangement?
Yes. Call (818) 855-1155 with the arrangement name or order details and the studio can share practical care guidance.
