At Stem Design, we understand the joy that a stunning bouquet can bring to any occasion. To ensure your floral arrangements stand the test of time, we’re here to guide you on selecting flowers that last the longest and share valuable tips for prolonging their beauty.

Choosing Long-Lasting Flowers:

Carnations: These hardy blooms are not only budget-friendly but also boast an impressive vase life. With proper care, carnations can stay fresh and vibrant for up to three weeks.

Lilies: Known for their elegance, lilies are not only visually striking but also have a remarkable staying power. Removing the pollen can extend their lifespan and preserve their pristine appearance.

Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily): Delicate in appearance yet robust in longevity, Alstroemeria flowers can grace your bouquet for up to two weeks. They come in an array of colours, adding a touch of sophistication to any arrangement.

Chrysanthemums: With their intricate petals and diverse varieties, chrysanthemums are resilient flowers that can endure for a prolonged period. Regular trimming and water changes enhance their longevity.

Orchids: Exotic and enduring, orchids are a symbol of luxury. When provided with the right care, orchid blooms can persist for several weeks, making them a captivating choice for long-lasting arrangements.

Tips for Prolonging Your Flower’s Beauty:

Fresh-Cut Stems: Trim the stems at an angle before placing them in water. This ensures better water absorption and prevents the stems from sitting flat at the bottom of the vase.

Clean Water: Change the water in your vase every two to three days to eliminate bacteria and keep the flowers hydrated. Adding a floral preservative can also enhance the longevity of your bouquet.

Remove Foliage: Submerged leaves in the water can lead to bacterial growth. Remove any excess foliage below the waterline to keep the water clean and your flowers healthier.

Proper Placement: Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources. Placing them in a cool, well-ventilated area helps maintain their freshness.

Regular Pruning: Remove wilted or dead flowers promptly. This not only enhances the bouquet’s visual appeal but also directs the plant’s energy towards the remaining blooms.

By choosing resilient flowers and following these simple tips, you can enjoy the beauty of your floral arrangements from Stem Design for an extended period. Elevate your moments with bouquets that not only dazzle at first sight but continue to enchant long after they are received.
