How to care for your fresh flowers so they last longer

March 27, 2026

Cómo cuidar tus flores frescas para que duren más

Buying fresh flowers is a simple way to transform any space or create a special moment. But to really make the most of them, proper care makes all the difference.

Here is a practical guide to help your flowers last as long as possible.

 

1. Cut the stems correctly

Before placing your flowers in water, cut approximately 1–2 cm off the stem at an angle. This allows for better water absorption.

 

2. Use clean water and change it regularly

Water is key. Make sure to:

  • Use fresh water from the start

  • Change it every 1–2 days

  • Clean the vase to prevent bacteria

3. Remove leaves underwater

Any leaf left submerged can breed bacteria and speed up the wilting process.

Keep the stems clean in the part that is in contact with the water.

 

4. Proper location

Avoid placing your flowers in:

  • Direct sunlight

  • Near heat (appliances, hot windows)

  • Drafts

A cool place will help them last longer.

 

5. Use flower food 

Our arrangements include nutrient packets. Use them according to the instructions to prolong the life of your flowers.

 

6. Keep the type of flower in mind

Each flower has a different lifespan:

  • Roses: 5–10 days

  • Sunflowers: 5–7 days

  • Lilies: up to 10 days

  • Baby's breath: more than 10 days

 

Conclusion

With a few simple care steps, you can significantly extend the life of your flowers and keep them fresh for longer.
