1. Carefully remove all packaging from the flowers.
2. Prepare a clean vase with fresh, room-temperature water. Choose a vase that is large enough so the flowers are not crowded and the stems are properly supported.
3. Add the Chrysal flower food included with your bouquet and dissolve it in the water according to the instructions on the package.
4. Trim the stems before placing the flowers in the vase:
• Woody stems – make a diagonal cut at a 45° angle and gently split the end of the stem in two.
• Firm stems – make a diagonal cut at a 45° angle.
• Soft stems – make a straight cut.
5. Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline.
6. Change the water and lightly re-trim the stems every 1–2 days to keep the flowers fresh for longer.
