Practical guidance
What to know before you order.
These notes are written for real customer decisions, not generic flower advice.
Step 01
The fundamentals that matter most
Most of a flower's lifespan is decided by water quality and stem hydration. Get these right and everything else is a small bonus.
- Use a clean vase — bacteria from a dirty vessel clogs stems and shortens life.
- Recut stems at a 45-degree angle so more surface can drink, and recut every few days.
- Strip any leaves that would sit below the water line; submerged foliage rots and feeds bacteria.
- Use flower food, or change to fresh water every two to three days if you have none.
Step 02
Where you put them changes everything
Placement is the most overlooked factor, and it matters more in warm Southern California rooms.
- Keep flowers out of direct sun and away from heaters, vents, and electronics.
- Keep them away from ripening fruit — the ethylene gas it releases ages flowers quickly.
- Move arrangements somewhere cooler overnight in summer to add days.
Step 03
Stem-specific tips florists actually use
A few flowers behave differently enough to be worth knowing:
- Roses — remove the outer guard petals; if heads droop, recut and give them deep, fresh water.
- Hydrangea — very thirsty; if it wilts, submerge the whole bloom head in water for about 30 minutes to revive it.
- Tulips — keep growing and bend toward light, so rotate the vase and expect movement; it is normal.
- Daffodils — release a sap that harms other flowers, so condition them alone for a few hours before mixing.
- Woody stems like lilac and branches — cut a deeper vertical slit so they can take up water.

Questions
Quick answers for this flower decision.
Use these answers to decide whether to order online or call the studio first.
How long should cut flowers last?
Most arrangements last about five to seven days, and many go longer with good care. Sturdy stems like chrysanthemums, carnations, and alstroemeria can last well over a week, while delicate blooms like peonies and tulips have a shorter but beautiful window.
Does flower food really work?
Yes. Flower food combines sugar to feed the bloom, an acidifier to help water move up the stem, and a small amount of antibacterial agent to keep the water clean. If you run out, changing to fresh water every couple of days achieves much of the same effect.
How do I revive wilting flowers?
Recut the stems and place them in deep, fresh, cool water for a few hours. For hydrangea specifically, submerge the entire flower head underwater for about 30 minutes — they drink through their petals and often bounce back.
