Flowers are a living piece of nature and require some essential hygiene practices to improve their vase life. A bouquet of flowers can brighten up any room, but before long, they start to wilt and die. Taking proper care of your flowers will help them last longer. At Mimosaflowers.ie each flower arrangement contains fresh cut flowers expertly hand-tied by our experienced florists.

All flowers have a delicate nature and it is vital that you treat them with care if you want them to last. If you receive a flower bouquet, there are some things you can do to increase the life of the flowers and keep your beautiful gift looking fresh for longer.

The actions you take immediately after receiving your flowers can play an important role in determining how long the blooms last. To ensure your flowers have a longer life span cut the stems into a water-filled vase at an angle as this improves their ability to absorb the water and nutrients that will keep them looking fresh. 

Our florists at Mimosaflowers.ie recommend that you place them in an area that remains cool and is away from direct sunlight. By changing the water in the vase you will be able to keep your flowers looking fresh for longer. This will also prevent bacteria growing which will inhibit the growth of the flowers.

It is also best practice to remove any wilted or fallen leaves from your flowers. This will keep your bouquet or arrangement looking fresh for an extended period of time. 

Throughout our time dealing with fresh flowers we have found the above steps best practice to keeping your flowers lasting longer in your home.

Why not send flowers to a loved one today? Our bouquets will be sure to brighten up their day.
