The Basics, for flowers received without a water source...

Want your cut flowers to stay fabulous? Here’s the secret: give those stems a snazzy angle cut before they hit the water—it's like a spa day for them! Pop them in a clean vase and remember to swap out the water every few days; no one likes a stale drink! And if any leaves start looking like they had a rough night, just snip them off. Finally, keep your blooms cool and out of the sun because nobody wants flowers that look like they just got back from a tropical vacation!

Received your flowers in water...
