Flower Care Guide
GENERAL CARE
Welcome to the House of Flowers Care Guide! Here you will find everything you need to know to make your flowers last longer and look their best. With little to no effort, you can master the art of flower care with these simple tips.
Free your flowers from the bottom stems. Remove any scotch tape or protective wrapping.
Measure your stems against the height of your vase and trim them evenly so they fit. To help your flowers draw water, cut each stem at a 45-degree angle.
Add flower food and change the water every 2 days. Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight to help them last longer.
CARING FOR ROSES
To care for your roses, trim the stems at a 45-degree angle and remove the green or discoloured outer petals (also known as guard petals). Remove the majority of the leaves as well. Change the water and re-trim the stems every 2 days to maximise vase life. Some roses may have smaller blooms and open differently from others — this is entirely normal and depends on the variety.
CARING FOR LILIES
Your lilies will open — just give them a little time! Like many of our flowers, lilies arrive in closed-bud form and need time to hydrate before opening. To encourage blooming, trim the stems and remove the leaves. To maximise vase life, trim the stems and change the water every 2 days.
