Care Instructions: Keeping Your Blooms Happy and Healthy!

Hey there, flower lovers! We at Austin Flower Delivery want to make sure your gorgeous blooms stay as fresh and vibrant as the day they arrived. Here are some tips to keep your flowers looking their best:

1. Keep 'em cool: Your flowers are like vampires - they hate direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep them away from windows, TVs, and any other hot spots.
2. Pets are cute, but...: While our flowers and plants are generally pet-friendly, keep them out of reach of your furry friends. Their bacteria-laden mouths can cause early expiration dates for your blooms.
3. Change that water: Fresh water is key! Change it every 2 days for the first 3-4 days, then daily after that. Add a tablespoon of bleach to the water to keep bacteria at bay.
4. Clean house: Every 3-4 days, give your vase a thorough cleaning. Pop it in the dishwasher while your blooms chill in a temporary home.
5. Pluck the old: As soon as you see dead petals or leaves, remove them. They're bacteria magnets!
6. Droopy head? No problem!: If your roses start drooping, change the water and move them to a cooler spot. Pluck any petals that look ready to fall.
7. Orchids are divas: Mist your orchid plant with a spray bottle and keep the soil semi-moist. They like their peace and quiet, so find them a tranquil spot. With proper care, they'll stick around indefinitely!
8. Penny for your thoughts (and flowers): Drop a penny in the vase to help keep bacteria at bay. The copper creates an unfriendly environment for those pesky microbes.

Remember, your flowers are living things with their own personalities. Keep an eye out for signs of distress and adjust accordingly. If you ever have questions or concerns, give us a call! We're always happy to help keep your blooms looking their best.

Happy flowering!
