Care of your flowers We source premium NZ flowers and global blooms to ensure top quality. Your flowers should last 4–7 days with the following care tips:
-
Use a clean vase.
-
Cut stems at a 45-degree angle under running water to maximize water uptake.
-
Keep flowers away from fruit, which produces ethylene gas that shortens their lifespan.
-
Place flowers in a cool spot. If away for a day or more, refrigerate them (away from fruit) to extend life.
-
Avoid direct sunlight, drafts, and air-conditioning.

Top up the water regularly and fully replace it every two days.
