When you receive a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, you’re filled with an immediate thrill of the surprise. As the surprise wears off, you begin to think about where to display this work of art and how to care for it properly. Adrian Durban Florist is here to offer some professional tips and advice that will help you continuously enjoy the vibrant colors and fresh scents of your new arrangement.

Peruvian Lilies, like the ones in our Kaleidoscope arrangement, are a wonderful gift because of their long stems and showy blooms. Remembering a few key tips in caring for your lilies will be the difference between enjoying them for mere days or several weeks.

• When you first receive your flowers, cut off about 1 inch at an angle from the stems. Do this underwater. It will open pores for the flowers to receive fresh water and nutrients.
• Remove any foliage that will fall below the waterline in your vase to prevent muddling the water.
• Change water every 3 days, or whenever the water becomes murky. Murky water is an indication of bacteria in the water, which will cause blooms to wilt faster.

Taking care of your new flowers will ensure long-lasting enjoyment and beauty. Talk to the floral professionals at Adrian Durban Florist about ways to care for your blooms to leave a lasting impact.
