💧 1. Keep the Floral Foam Wet (Most Important)
Floral foam acts like a sponge.
Check moisture daily
Slowly pour water directly onto the foam (not just the flowers)
Add water until the foam feels fully saturated
Never let the foam dry out — once dry, it’s hard to rehydrate properly
💡 Tip: Use a watering can with a narrow spout for controlled pouring.
🌡️ 2. Placement Matters
Keep away from direct sunlight
Avoid heaters, radiators, fireplaces
Keep away from air conditioners and fans
Ideal room temperature: cool (18–22°C / 65–72°F)
Heat shortens flower life quickly.
✂️ 3. Trim & Maintain
Remove wilted flowers immediately
If stems are accessible, trim ends at an angle every few days
Gently remove fallen leaves or petals to prevent mold
🧪 4. Add Flower Food (If Possible)
Mix flower food with water before adding to foam
If no packet available, a tiny drop of bleach in water can help reduce bacteria (very diluted)
⏳ 5. Expected Lifespan
Most foam arrangements last:
5–10 days, depending on flowers used
Roses and carnations last longer
Hydrangeas and tulips may fade sooner
