Phalaenopsis Dwarf- Purple Single Stem

1. How can I make my flowers last longer and open up faster?

Clean your vase thoroughly.
Use lukewarm water, fill two-thirds, and add flower food. Top up water after a day.
Remove submerged foliage and guard petals.
Trim stems at a 45-degree angle, varying lengths.
Change water regularly and keep flowers away from direct sunlight.
Remove wilted flowers to avoid spreading mold.

2. How do I choose the right vase?
Pick a vase half the height of flowers. For a balanced bouquet, use a narrower vase for bottom-heavy arrangements and a wider one for top-heavy. Ensure the vase is clean.

3.  How much water and when should I change it?
Fill two-thirds with lukewarm water. Add flower food. Top up after a day. Change water every other day or if cloudy.

4. Why should I trim the stems?
Stems dry out, so cut 2-3cm at a 45-degree angle. Remove submerged foliage. This enhances water uptake and prevents stems from resting at the vase bottom.

5. Where should I keep my flowers?
Keep flowers in cool conditions, away from drafts, heat, and direct sunlight. Avoid placing them near fruit, especially apples, as ethylene gas can cause deterioration.

6.Can I keep flowers in their gift bag/hat box?
While a nice presentation, transfer flowers to a vase for longer life.

7. How often should I change water for my bouquet?
Top up water every other day, change if cloudy. Remove dead or wilting stems, clean the vase, and refill.

8. How do I care for roses?
Peel away discolored outer petals. Cut stems underwater to prevent air bubbles. Submerge drooping roses, cut stems again, and shake to release air bubbles.

9. How do I care for tulips?
Use a supportive vase, trim stems regularly, and rotate the vase. If tulips droop, prick the stem with a pin just below the flower head, recut the bottom, and place in water for an hour.
