Remove aqua pack carefully over a sink (this is only to provide water on a temporary basis and will shorten the life of your flowers if the following steps aren’t performed.

Prepare a clean vase and fill with water (two thirds tepid water) and add some flower food provided by Josephines Flowers. It is important to follow the correct mixing instructions as advised on the flower food packet. White vinegar and water will kill bacteria that may have built up around the sides.

Remove all the leaves and thorns which would be underwater in the vase. Leaves under the water line can cause bacteria and algae shortening the life of your flowers.

Cut the stems and place them in water immediately as air rapidly moves into the stems and blocks their passages. Alternatively it is advised to cut the stems under water. This keeps the flowers veins open and promotes water to be drawn into the stem. Air bubbles prevent water from getting to the flower head and your flower will wilt quickly.

Change the water every other day and cut the flowers every time you change the water.

Keep flowers in a cool spot. Away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under fans or near appliances that generate heat like televisions and obviously radiators. Storing fruit close to flowers is not advisable as they produce ethylene gas which encourages aging in flowers.

Apart from them just enjoy them!

Apart from that just enjoy them!
