Why Proper Flower Care Matters for Temple Flowers
Fresh flowers from Flowers Temple are selected for quality and longevity, but their care doesn’t end on delivery. Proper attention extends vase life, enhances colours, and keeps petals looking fresh. Thoughtful flower care honours the time and artistry of our Temple florists and preserves your investment in beautiful blooms—whether they’re gracing your home or the centrepiece at an event. Our expert florists recommend making these habits part of your floral tradition to fully appreciate the unique character of Temple Flowers.
Unpacking Your Flowers Temple Delivery
Each Flowers Temple arrangement arrives carefully packaged to protect delicate blossoms in transit. Upon arrival, promptly unwrap your flowers, remove any excess foliage below the waterline, and inspect each stem. Snipping the stems at an angle—ideally under running water—allows for improved hydration and supports maximum vase life. Our Temple florists advise using sharp, clean scissors or floral shears to prevent stem damage, ensuring a strong and healthy start for your fresh arrangement.
Top Vase Life Hacks from Our Temple Florists
Maximising vase life is at the heart of our flower care philosophy at Flowers Temple. Here are leading tips direct from our local experts:
- Change Water Regularly: Stale water breeds bacteria. Change the vase water every 2–3 days, and rinse the vase with mild soap to remove residue.
- Feed Your Flowers: Each Flowers Temple order includes a packet of professional florist flower food. Dissolve it fully for optimum nutrition, or use a homemade solution of sugar (for nourishment) and a dash of vinegar or lemon juice (to regulate pH and discourage bacteria).
- Trim Stems as Needed: Every two days, re-trim stems by 1–2 cm at a diagonal angle to increase water uptake and prolong vibrancy.
- Remove Spent Flowers: Dying blooms can hasten the ageing of neighbouring flowers. Carefully pluck away any wilted petals, leaves, or heads.
- Mind Placement: Keep your arrangement away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and fruit bowls. Ripening fruit emits ethylene gas, which shortens floral life.
- Cool Storage Overnight: For special events or longer-lasting displays, store arrangements in a cool room or refrigerator overnight, away from produce.
Seasonal Care Tips for Temple Flowers
Each season brings its own set of floral joys and challenges. Here’s how our Temple florists recommend adjusting your care routine throughout the year:
Spring
Spring arrangements often include delicate bulb flowers like tulips and daffodils. Replenish water frequently, as some spring blooms are thirsty and can cloud the water. Nudge stems upright after unboxing, as travel may cause bending.
Summer
Heat and humidity can be harsh on summer bouquets. Change water daily during heatwaves and mist petals lightly to combat wilting. Display arrangements in the coolest area available.
Autumn
Rich seasonal hues fill autumn arrangements—think chrysanthemums and dahlias. These hardy flowers benefit from regular deadheading and should be placed away from radiators as temperatures drop indoors.
Winter
Central heating can dehydrate winter flowers. Use slightly colder water, avoid drafts, and consider humidifying the room to maintain moisture. Ensure arrangements are not near heat vents or under direct air flow.
Expert Florist Advice for Weddings, Homes, and Local Businesses
Our Temple florists provide tailored flower care strategies for any setting:
- Home Display: Place your Temple Flowers where you can admire them, but avoid windowsills with intense sun. For statement pieces, rotate the arrangement occasionally to promote even bloom development.
- Weddings & Events: Opt for low, shallow water for compact arrangements travelling between venues. Upon arrival, refresh water immediately and give blooms a spritz to recover from transit.
- Business Settings: High-traffic areas require hardy flowers and vigilant care. Assign an employee to check water levels, remove debris, and adjust displays to ensure continuous professional impact.
Common Issues and How to Solve Them
Even with the best practices, some issues may arise. Our Temple florists share their remedies:
- Wilting Blooms: Often due to dehydration. Submerge stems in cool water for several hours. Re-cut stems before returning to the vase.
- Cloudy Water: Indicates bacteria. Discard, clean vase thoroughly, and replace with fresh water plus flower food.
- Rapid Leaf and Petal Drop: Move flowers out of drafts and away from heat. Replenish water and consider using cooler room temperatures overnight.
Special Flower Care: Temple Arrangements with Mixed Blooms
Many Flowers Temple bouquets feature a mix of flower types, each with unique needs. For example, keep daffodils in a separate vase for a few hours before combined display, as their sap can affect other blooms. Inspect foliage and remove anything below the waterline immediately to minimise bacterial growth in mixed arrangements.
Sustainable Flower Care at Flowers Temple
Part of caring for Temple Flowers means caring for the local environment. Our florists recommend reusing clean vases, composting spent petals, and choosing locally grown stems when possible. These habits support both your flowers’ longevity and our community’s sustainability efforts.
