FRESH FLOWER CARE

Fresh flowers are fleeting beauties and will naturally fade with time, especially quickly in Singapore's climate.

To ensure maximum enjoyment of your blooms, here are some tips you can follow to prolong their vase life.

• Remove the packaging and trim 2-3cm of the stems at a 45° angle, before transferring the flowers into a vessel of fresh clean water. Remove any fallen leaves and petals beneath the water line.
• Display the flowers in a cool environment (preferably air-conditioned) away from direct sunlight, heat. and fruits.
• Replace the water in the vase daily, and wash the vase every 2-3 days to maintain a clean environment.
• Remove any fallen leaves, wilting flowers, and faded petals to avoid contamination.

Note: Different flowers have varying vase-lives and rates of fading, some flowers may last longer than others.

PRESERVED FLOWER CARE

Preserved flowers are fresh flowers that are chemically preserved at their peak freshness, producing many vibrant-coloured flowers that can last for a long time with proper care. 

Follow the care tips below:

• Do not water. Keep away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity. Colours may fade over time due to sun exposure.
• Petals may turn translucent when humid. Use a hair dryer at low heat and low speed to gently dry the petals.
• Avoid touching the petals as preserved flowers are delicate and fragile, and petals are prone to bruising.
