How to Keep Your Flowers Fresh Longer — 7 Simple Tips

Receiving a beautiful bouquet from Dreams Al Khaleej is a wonderful feeling — and we want that beauty to last as long as possible! Follow these 7 simple tips to keep your flowers fresh and vibrant for longer.

1. ✂️ Trim the Stems
As soon as you receive your bouquet, trim about 2-3 cm off the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle. This increases the surface area for water absorption and keeps your flowers hydrated.

2. 💧 Change the Water Daily
Fresh water is essential for keeping flowers alive. Change the water in your vase every day to prevent bacteria buildup that can shorten the life of your blooms.

3. 🌡️ Keep Away from Heat and Direct Sunlight
Place your flowers in a cool spot away from direct sunlight, heating vents, and appliances. Heat speeds up wilting, so a cool room temperature is ideal.

4. 🌿 Remove Leaves Below the Waterline
Any leaves sitting below the waterline will rot quickly and contaminate the water. Remove them immediately to keep the water clean and fresh.

5. 🧪 Use Flower Food
Most bouquets come with a small packet of flower food. Add it to the water — it contains nutrients and antibacterial agents that significantly extend the life of your flowers.

6. 🍎 Keep Away from Fruits
Fruits like apples and bananas release ethylene gas which causes flowers to age faster. Keep your bouquet away from the fruit bowl.

7. 💦 Mist the Petals
Lightly misting the petals with water once a day helps keep them hydrated and looking fresh, especially in dry climates like Riyadh.

With proper care, your Dreams Al Khaleej bouquet can stay beautiful for 7 to 14 days. We put our heart into every arrangement — help us keep that beauty alive a little longer!
