Every time you walk past a vase of freshly cut blooms, take a moment to breathe in their beauty—and remember, they rely on a little TLC to stay vibrant. At Flowers Valley, we offer two vase-ready styles: our Basic & Mono Bouquets, delivered either wrapped in our Aqua Box or pre-arranged in a simple vase, and our more elaborate Artistic Floral Compositions. Each deserves its own special care, so here’s how to keep them looking—and feeling—their best.
Basic & Mono Bouquets: Trim, Refresh, Repeat
Whether your bouquet arrived wrapped (Aqua Box style) or already in our classic vase, these stems were made to be trimmed and refreshed:
Step 1. Unwrap and Untie
Gently remove any paper or cellophane and loosen ribbons so the stems can relax into their natural positions.
Step 2. Give ‘Em a Fresh Cut
With clean, sharp shears, snip 1–2 inches off each stem at a 45° angle. Think of it as opening the door for water to travel up the stem.
Step 3. Prep the Vase
Rinse out any old residue, then fill two-thirds full with room-temperature water. Stir in the packet of flower food—or, in a pinch, a teaspoon of sugar plus a drop of bleach.
Step 4. Arrange and Place
Position stems so no leaves dip below the waterline (they invite bacteria). Tuck your vase into a cool spot—away from direct sunlight, heat vents, drafts, and that fruit bowl on the counter.
Step 5. Refresh Every 2–3 Days
Empty the vase, rinse it clean, re-trim your stems ½–1 inch, and refill with fresh water and food. Your blooms will thank you!
Artistic Floral Compositions: Preserve the Masterpiece
Our artistic arrangements are handcrafted as cohesive works of art—every stem’s length and angle is part of the design. To honor the florists’ vision:
Step 1. Do Not Trim or Rearrange
Removing or cutting stems upsets the composition’s balance and flow.
Step 2. Top Up, Don’t Toss Out
Check the water level daily. Use the hidden hydration port (or gently lift the foam) to add room-temperature water as needed.
Step 3. Mind the Environment
Keep your arrangement in a cool, shaded area—no direct sun, heat, or ripening fruit nearby.
Step 4. Snip Only the Spent Blooms
If a flower fades, remove it at the base to prevent bacteria from spreading—then sit back and admire the rest.
With a little care, your Flowers Valley vase arrangements will brighten your home for days (or even weeks) to come. Ready for your next centerpiece? Browse our full Flowers in Vases collection
