Good to know
Water, please!
Water gives flowers their full strength. Take the bunches out of the box as soon as you can, trim the stems with flower scissors and put them in fresh water. That way they recover quickly from their journey to you.
Fresh cut, from bud to bloom
It doesn't get any fresher: we send some flowers in bud. The delicate petals are well protected on the way, and you can watch them open within 1 to 2 days.
The art of your own arrangement
Arranging flowers is calming and good for the soul. Your personal arrangement adds a creative touch of colour to your home.
Preparation
- Clean vase, fresh water
- Prepare a clean vase, ideally about 22 cm high, and fill it halfway with fresh water.
- Add the flower food
- Stir the flower food that comes with your delivery into the water until it has dissolved completely.
- The key tool: flower scissors
- Cut the stems at an angle. To avoid damaging the water channels in the stems, you need really good flower scissors or a sharp flower knife. The flowers can then take up as much water as possible and stay fresh for longer.
Three bunches, one bouquet of your own
You receive three different bunches that help you put together your own bouquet. Let your creativity run free and play with the length of the stems too.
-
Bunch 1: structure and hold
Cut the stems of the first bunch at an angle and arrange the flowers evenly in the vase. This is the base of your bouquet and gives it structure and hold.
-
Bunch 2: volume and fullness
Place the freshly cut stems of the second bunch between those of the first, wherever you like. They add volume and fullness.
-
Bunch 3: the highlights
The third bunch contains the highlights of your bouquet. Use them to set deliberate accents here and there.
And there it is: a flower creation made by your own hand.
How to keep your flowers fresh for longer
Remove leaves below the waterline
Remove any leaves that reach into the water. They start to rot and make the flowers wilt faster.
Change the water regularly
Change the water every few days. Your flowers will stay bright and fresh for longer.
Choose the right spot
Keep the flowers out of direct sunlight and draughts, and away from radiators and fruit bowls.
Sort out faded flowers
Not all flowers bloom for the same length of time. Take out faded flowers before they affect the others, and rearrange the rest.
