Fresh flowers bring life, color, and fragrance to any space. At Florajet.ca, each bouquet is handcrafted with flowers selected for their freshness—delivered the same day in Montreal, Laval, and on the South Shore. Here are our expert tips to extend their beauty for as long as possible.
1. Trim the stems correctly
Before placing the flowers in water, cut the stems at a 45-degree angle. This increases water absorption. Remove any leaves that would be below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
2. Use a clean vase
Wash your vase thoroughly with soap and warm water before putting flowers in it. Clean water ensures your flowers stay vibrant and healthy longer.
3. Change the water regularly
Change the vase water every 2 to 3 days. Fresh water prevents bacterial buildup. Add flower food if provided—Florajet.ca includes preservative packets with some orders.
4. Choose the right location
Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, radiators, and drafts. A cool, shaded spot is ideal—between 18 and 22 °C.
5. Remove wilted flowers
When some flowers start to wilt, remove them from the arrangement. Wilted flowers release ethylene, which accelerates the aging of others.
6. Lightly mist the petals
A light misting can help maintain humidity, especially for delicate flowers like orchids and lilies. Avoid excess water on the petals.
7. Avoid fruits nearby
Keep flowers away from fruits like bananas and apples—they release ethylene gas, which speeds up flower aging.
8. Re-trim stems every 2–3 days
Re-trim stems regularly to open new channels for water absorption. This is particularly important for roses, lilies, and tulips.
