Care Instructions

Alstroemeria is delivered in bud form and may appear green and/or dark on arrival, but its colors will quickly become more vibrant as they bloom. Each stem contains multiple blooms, so a bunch of five stems often means 25 flowers! If you see an individual flower starting to fade, simply remove the unsightly bloom so the rest of the bouquet can shine.

*Multiple blooms per stems.

Water: Fill a vase with water and remove any submerged leaves.

Light: Keep out of direct sunlight.

Pets: Alstroemeria are considered non-toxic to dogs and cats, but can lead to gastrointestinal issues if ingested. We recommend keeping them away from pets for this reason.

Alstroemeria is shipped in bunches of 10, but with 5 blooms per bunch, we are really shipping 50 flowers per bunch!

Surprise! These flowers aren’t lilies at all. Despite this confusion, they’re still gorgeous.

When it comes time to care for calla lilies, take note of these flowers’ unique features. While many flowers have woody or thick stems, calla lilies sport soft and pliable stems, which unfortunately means they’re a bit more susceptible to rot. To keep your calla lilies happy, place only the bottom two inches of the stems in water. And since these are thirsty flowers, check the water daily and refill as necessary.

Water: Ensure only the bottom two inches of stems are in water and refill daily.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Calla lilies are toxic to pets and should be kept away.

Carnations last longer than almost any cut flower. With proper care, they can last up to three weeks and will average around 14 days. Make sure to cut the leaves that fall below the water line. This is important to maximize your carnation’s vase life. Change the water in the vase about every three days or when the vase water begins to look cloudy. After a week, recut the stems at a 45-degree angle a few inches above the initial cut to help your blooms drink water. Don’t place the carnation bouquet in direct sunlight or under a vent, either air conditioning or heating.

Water: Change water every two-to-three days and after a week, recut stems at a 45-degree angle.

Light: It is recommended you keep carnations out of direct light.

Pets: Carnations are considered mildly toxic to pets such as dogs and cats, so we strongly recommend you keep these flowers out of their reach.

Need your carnations to bloom faster? Use warm tap water to speed up the process (may impact the lifespan)..

These stunning flowers arrive in bud form, so you can expect them to bloom over the next couple of weeks. Since they contain multiple flowers on each stem, some flowers may fade more quickly than others. Removing dead flowers will allow you to continue to enjoy those that remain fresh.

Water: Trim freesia at an angle and replace your vase with cold water every two days.

Light: Keep freesia out of direct light.

Pets: Freesia are non-toxic to cats and dogs, though ingestion may cause upset stomachs.

Since freesia have 5-7 blooms per stem, remove dead blooms by hand to encourage more blooms!

For a fuller arrangement, we recommend ordering a deluxe or grand size (some freesia blooms can be small).

Gerbera daisies are sometimes shipped with protective head nets. To remove, gently cut the bottom gently and pull the net downwards. Do not pull netting over the head of the daisies, as this can cause the flowers to pop off the stems. Daisies are top-heavy flowers, so they benefit from shorter stems. We recommend trimming them 4 inches from the top of the vase to prevent drooping. For this reason, wide-mouth vases are not recommended.

Daisies are top-heavy flowers, so they benefit from shorter stems. We recommend trimming them 4 inches from the top of the vase to prevent drooping. For this reason, wide-mouth vases are not recommended.

Water: Trim flowers four inches from the top and change water every few days.

Light: It’s recommended that you keep gerbera daisies out of direct light.

Pets: Gerbera daisies are non-toxic for pets!

While hyacinths can be grown indoors from bulbs, they also look beautiful as cut flowers. However, due to their many blooms, these are top-heavy flowers. To provide adequate support, use a vase with a narrow neck.

Water: Change water every few days.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Hyacinths are toxic to pets, especially dogs.

Irises arrive in bud form for durability, but they will start blooming once you unpack them and place them in water. Pinch off any wilted flowers to keep the remaining flowers looking fresh.

Water: Change water every few days, keeping only the bottom few inches of stem in water.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Irises are considered toxic for both dogs and cats.

Keep in cool temperature to delay blooming if needed.

While lilies bloom into spectacular trumpet-shaped flowers, they arrive in bud form. So, if you’re hoping to display a bouquet of stunning lilies at a special event, it’s best to order so your flowers arrive a few days ahead of time. Our cut guarantees that 80-90% of blooms will open, but it's normal if a few don't.

We recommend removing the stamen that contains pollen to prevent staining and help with allergies. Simply put on a pair of gloves and then pinch the stamens at their bases.

Water: Change water every few days. Warm water can help speed up the blooming process.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: It is seriously recommended that pet owners keep lilies away from their pets. Lilies can be extremely harmful if ingested.

If pollen stains occur, we recommend using a blow dryer, lint roller or scotch tape to remove via dry method.

While the delicate petals are a big reason why we love lisianthus, their fragility also means the flowers may appear a bit sad when they arrive. But don’t panic! Just give the stems a fresh cut and place them in water — once they’re hydrated they'll perk back up.

Water: Trimming your lisianthus and putting them in cold water will help them bloom. We recommend changing water every few days.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Lisianthus are non-toxic to cats and dogs.

They tend to be thirsty flowers, so check the water level of your vase often.

Also known as stock, each Matthiola stem is covered in many fragrant flowers. The flowers near the base of the stems will bloom first, followed by flowers near the top of each stem. Since stock has woody stems, they sometimes have a difficult time taking in enough water. To encourage water uptake, give the stems a fresh trim each day.

Water: Change water every few days, and give their stems a trim every day to help with water intake.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Matthiola or stock is generally considered non-toxic for cats and dogs.

Since mixed bouquets can contain any number of flowers, practice general bouquet care. Give the stems a fresh trim at a 45-degree angle. Remove any flowers that become wilted. Some types of flowers in a mixed bouquet have longer vase life than other flowers. You can remove wilting flowers and still enjoy the others that last longer. Not all flowers have the same vase life so in a mixed bouquet, expect some to wilt sooner than others.

Lilies, tulips, and peonies are among plants known to cause mild to severe reactions in pets if ingested. We strongly advise against sending these flowers to places with pets, but if you do, display in an area safely out of pet's reach.

Water: Change water every few days.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Depends on the exact species in the bouquet.

With Calla Lilies

Since calla lilies are the most fragile in the bunch, your care instructions will be tailored with these in mind. Calla Lilies absorb water quickly, so don't overfill the vase; two inches of water is all you need!

Trim the bottom of the stems at an angle as this helps to absorb water, and keep extra leaves above the water line. Some of the flowers in your arrangement may arrive in bud form which will quickly begin to bloom once hydrated.

Keep bouquets with calla lilies out of reach from pets.

With Daisies

The daisies in your arrangement are more delicate and need specific care. You may notice some arrive in protective nets which should be cut at the bottom and pulled (gently) downwards.

Trim edges at an angle and add to cold water while making sure the foliage is above water level. Daises are top-heavy flowers so be sure your vase does not have a wide mouth to prevent drooping.

With Hydrangeas

Hydrangeas have woody stems that need to draw water for maximum vase life. For best results, keep the water level in their vase full and change every two or three days with cold water. Trim all flowers at an angle (for better water absorption) and keep foliage above the water line.

Tip if wilted: submerge them in cold water for 10 seconds (water can be absorbed from the petals). Hydrangeas can be sensitive to acidity in water so be sure that it's changed every two days.

If a hydrangea blossom wilts prematurely, remove it, re-cut the stem at a sharp angle, and place in warm water for at least one hour. The flower should be revived and ready to take its place in your arrangement.

With Lilies

Lilies are delivered in mostly closed, bud form. Our cut guarantees that 80-90% of blooms will open, but it's normal if a few don't. Trim ends at an angle and to fit the vase for support. Change water every three days.

We recommend removing the stamen (pollen) with gloves to prevent staining. Display away from sunlight in cool area.

Dangerous if ingested. Keep away from all pets.

With Roses

Trim edges at an angle and keep extra leaves above the waterline, especially since mixed arrangements tend to have filler stems with leaves. Remove outer (guard) petals from roses and change water every two-to-three days.

While orchids are popular potted plants, they can also shine as cut flowers. This is especially true for spray orchids. With the proper care, these cut flowers can last up to three weeks! Make sure to use flower food and trim the stem each time you change the water. Spray orchids are different from regular, potted orchids in that they are delivered as stems which can be added to a full vase of water.

Remove any wilted blooms or foliage that fall below the waterline in your vase. Enjoy for weeks and keep away from pets.

Ends can be trimmed every 4 days or as needed to ensure healthy water absorption.

Water:Provide fresh water every few days to keep your orchids hydrated.

Light:If the orchids are cut, keep out of direct light. Potted orchids prefer bright, indirect light.

Pets:Orchids are generally considered pet-safe flowers.

While peonies are known for their dramatic ruffles, we want to make sure you enjoy every moment of these flowers! That’s why your peonies will arrive in bud form. To help encourage the blooming process, trim the ends of the stems and place them in freshwater.

It’s common for peonies to bloom at different speeds, so don’t be alarmed if some seem a bit behind. Once peony flowers are fully open, their average lifespan is about two to three days.

Peonies are among plants known to cause mild to severe reactions in pets if ingested. We strongly advise against sending these flowers to places with pets, but if you do, display in an area safely out of pet's reach.

Water: Change water every few days to help encourage the blooming process.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets:Peonies contain a toxin to both cats and dogs, so keep them out of reach.

If you'd like flowers you can get throughout the year with a similar appearance to peonies, we recommend garden roses, which include our amazing David Austin roses!

Ranunculus are delivered in bud form, and the buds may arrive green. As these buds bloom, they produce flowers that are three to five times their size!

Since ranunculus stems are quite delicate and have naturally curved stems, it’s best to use a tall vase to support the stems. A good rule of thumb is that the vase should be at least 2/3 the length of the cut stems.

Got a droopy ranunculus? Ensure the ends are trimmed at an angle and that the vase is filled with water. You’ll also want to make sure you’re using a vase that is tall enough to support the stems (or cut the stems down to fit your vase). A good rule of thumb is that the vase should be at least 2/3 the length of the cut stems.

Water: Change water for ranunculus every few days.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Ranunculus are considered toxic and poisonous to pets, including cats and dogs.

Roses

Roses are delivered with their protective guard petals still attached. These petals may appear lighter in color or have spots — but don’t fear, that means they’ve done their job! Once the roses are safely in your home, use your hands to gently remove the guard petals.

While there are all kinds of roses (garden roses, spray roses, tea roses, etc.), all types can benefit from freshly-cut stems. You should also make sure to remove any leaves that will fall below the water line.

Water: Change water every few days to keep your roses looking fresh!

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Roses are considered less toxic for pets, though ingestion could cause mild upset stomachs for dogs or cats.

Garden Roses

Garden roses are larger and more fragile than regular roses. Remove outer protective petals (guard petals) and extra leaves as needed. Trim ends at a 45 degree angle and make sure foliage is above the water line.

Spray Roses

Spray roses are petite and have thinner stems than regular roses which require their ends to be trimmed at a 45 degree angle for proper hydration.

Make sure that extra leaves are above the waterline and change water every two-to-three days for healthy blooms.

If your roses begin to wilt, you may be able to revive them. Trim off about an inch from the bottom of its stem and then submerge the entire rose under water in a sink or bathtub. Allow the stem to absorb water for about 20-60 minutes before returning them to their vase.

Tea Roses

Tea roses arrive with guard petals still attached which may appear lighter in color or have spots (this is totally normal!). These protect roses while in transit and can be easily removed upon delivery.

Make sure to remove foliage that fall below the waterline when refreshing your arrangement. Re-cutting the stems at an angle often will give your roses the longest vase life.

Snapdragons may arrive in bud form or with partially opened flowers, but the flowers will open over the next few days. As with all flowers, remove any foliage that would sit below the water line.

Trim the ends at an angle to ensure proper water absorption. Change water every two-to-three days or as needed and make sure that leaves and foliage are above the water line.

Water: Check water every day since snapdragons drink a lot of water, and refill when needed.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Snapdragons are considered non-toxic for cats and dogs.

Yes, that’s right, succulents can be a part of bouquets! When succulents arrive, their ‘stems’ are not actually part of the plant — they're just a way to make the succulent appear like a flower.

Succulents included in mixed arrangements can be replanted into a separate pot and sprayed with water in between watering.

Water:Remember to water after you’ve replanted the succulent in soil.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Toxicity depends on the specific species.

Sunflowers are top-heavy flowers that are prone to drooping. To keep them upright, cut the stems to ensure they are supported by the vase. If the flowers arrive with protective nets, carefully cut the nets and pull them downwards off the flowers.

Water: Change water every few days for sunflowers.

Light: Bright, indirect light is good for sunflowers.

Pets: Sunflowers are generally non-toxic for pets, including cats and dogs.

Have droopy sunflowers? Make sure they are not too tall for their vase or too cramped which prevents proper water absorption. Cut to fit the vase (they need support to stand straight) and watch them bloom!

Tulips are shipped in bud form and may arrive slightly curved - this is completely normal! Trim the stem at a 45 degree angle and cut to about four inches from the top of the vase for support. Only add about two inches of water at a time to avoid over hydrating then add more daily to maintain the same water level (tulips drink water quickly!).

Water: Tulips are thirsty flowers — check and replenish the water every day. Only the bottom two inches of the stems should be in water.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Tulips are considered toxic and poisonous for pets, so it may be best to avoid them for pet parents, or at the very least keep them far out of reach.

Droopy tulips? Make sure your tulips are trimmed to the size of your vase (we recommend about four inches above the rim) so they are well supported. Tulips are soft-stemmed and will droop if there is more than two inches of water in the vase.

Remove extra leaves if your flowers seem crammed or if it's preventing all flowers from receiving proper hydration.

Tropical flowers include stunning specimens like ginger flowers, musa (banana), and lobster claws. Be sure to keep these arrangements away from cold drafts and provide some extra humidity if possible. Tropical flowers do NOT need flower food.

Water: Provide lots of water and change every few days. Tropical flowers need a LOT of water. Fill the vase at least 2/3 full and change every 2-3 days.

Light: Keep out of direct light.

Pets: Toxicity depends on the species, so be sure to do your own research about the tropical flowers you have. Mini fruits included are not edible. Keep away from pets.

Tropical arrangements can absorb water from their leaves and flowers. Tropical flowers also absorb water from their environment. Spray them once a day to ensure a long and happy vase life.

If your Bouq looks a bit squeezed after transportation, carefully separate the blooms with your hands. Flowers and foliage will return back to their original shape.

Although these plants naturally grow as a vining succulent, people often cut and grow their heart-shaped leaves. Since these plants are succulents, it’s essential to use well-draining potting soil and water only when dry!

Water: Water every few weeks when the soil is dry.

Light: Bright, direct light is best for desert hoya.

Pets: Hoyas are generally considered safe for pets.

In the wild, these ferns often grow on other plants, rather than in soil. Therefore, it’s essential that you use a chunky and well-draining potting mix. Aim to keep the humidity medium to high and the temperature above 60ºF.

Water: Water every few weeks when the soil is dry.

Light: Bright, indirect light is best for a bunny ear cactus.

Pets: These cacti are non-toxic to pets, but their prickly exteriors could cause harm.

As with most orchids, these flowering plants do best when planted in a mix that’s designed specifically for orchids. This chunky mix mimics the orchid’s natural environment and allows excess water to escape.

Water: Thoroughly wet the growing media every week then allow it to drain.

Light: Bright yet indirect light.

Pets: Orchids are generally considered pet-safe flowers.

As a tropical plant, the anthurium loves humidity, but moderate humidity will suffice. If your house is extremely dry, consider buying a humidifier to help. Keep the temperature above 65ºF and use a well-draining soil mix.

Water: Anthurium needs water when the top half of soil is dry. Check the top couple inches and water if dry.

Light: Bright yet indirect light is best for an anthurium plant.

Pets: Keep away from pets, as the anthurium plant is toxic to the likes of cats and dogs.

Peace lilies thrive in consistently moist soil as well as high humidity. Use a potting mix that holds moisture but also allows excess water to escape. These plants can be a bit sensitive to minerals found in tap water, so it’s best to use rainwater or distilled water.

Water: In general, you’ll likely need to water your peace lily every week or two. However, until you get a good feel for the ideal watering schedule, it’s a good idea to check your plant’s soil every few days.

Light: Medium to bright indirect light is good for peace lilies.

Pets: Peace lilies contain calcium oxalate crystals, which are toxic to pets and humans alike.

Although the ZZ plant has a reputation of being almost indestructible, you’ll still need to provide this plant with some care. Use a well-draining potting mix and don’t allow the air temperature to dip below 60ºF.

Water: Water when the top half of soil is dry, about once every two weeks.

Light: ZZ plants prefer bright to medium indirect light, but can survive low-light conditions as well.

Pets: The ZZ plant is considered toxic if ingested, so keep away from pets like cats and dogs.

One of the easiest to care for houseplants, snake plants can tolerate a wide variety of light conditions as well as periods of drought. With that said, use a well-draining potting mix and err on the side of underwatering.

Water: Allow the top half of the soil to dry in between watering.

Light: Snake plants prefer bright to medium indirect light but are also tolerant of low light.

Pets: Snake plants are toxic to pets like cats and dogs.

To keep these plants thriving, plant them in a well-draining soil mix and allow the top half of the soil to dry before watering.

Water: Water deeply about every two weeks.

Light: Medium to bright indirect light is best for money trees.

Pets: Money trees are considered pet-safe plants.

Despite having a high-maintenance reputation, this tropical plant can thrive with the right care. Keep your fiddle leaf fig plant away from air vents and instead place it in a sunny spot.

Water: Water your fiddle leaf fig once a week or every 10 days. Poke your finger in about two inches to feel for moisture.

Light: Find a sun-soaked place away from air vents and drafts where your ficus can enjoy an abundance of ambient light. Choose your spot very carefully as fiddle leaf care is much harder if you move the plant later on.

Pets: Unfortunately, every part of a fiddle leaf fig plant is poisonous to pets like cats and dogs.

Like other types of calathea, this plant thrives in high humidity. If you have a dry home, you may need to boost the air moisture with a humidifier. These plants can also be sensitive to minerals in tap water, so use rainwater or filtered water.

Water: Water about once a week to keep the soil moist. If your living space isn’t humid enough, it is recommended that you mist the rosy calathea.

Light: Place your rosy calathea in a shady spot of your house with indirect sunlight.

Pets: Rosy calathea plants are considered non-toxic to pets!

Due to its fun, distinct leaves, the zig zag (also known as ric rac or fishbone) cactus is one of our absolute favorite plants. Zig zag cacti are great low–maintenance plants that enjoy humid conditions and indirect but bright sunlight.

Water: Keep an eye on the top two or three inches of soil and, once dry, give your zig zag cactus a good watering.

Light: These tropical plants like to get indirect, bright light.
