When you receive a beautiful flower bouquet, you want to make sure it stays fresh and vibrant for as long as possible. Here is a SG florist guide on how to care for your flower bouquet in the hot and humid climate of Singapore.

1. Trim the Stems

Upon receiving the bouquet, trim the stems at a 45-degree angle. This will help the flowers absorb water more efficiently and prevent the stems from sitting flat at the bottom of the vase.

2. Change the Water Regularly

In Singapore's warm weather, bacteria can grow quickly in the water. Change the water every 2 days and rinse the vase thoroughly to prevent bacterial growth and keep your flowers fresh.

3. Keep Them Hydrated

Ensure the water level in the vase is sufficient to cover the stems. Hydrated flowers are happy flowers, so top up the water regularly to keep them looking their best.

4. Avoid Direct Sunlight

While Singapore is known for its sunny weather, direct sunlight can cause flowers to wilt quickly. Place your bouquet in a cool spot away from direct sunlight to prolong their lifespan.

5. Remove Wilting Flowers

As soon as you notice a flower starting to wilt, remove it from the bouquet. Wilting flowers release ethylene gas, which can cause the other flowers to deteriorate faster.

6. Use Flower Food

Consider using flower food to nourish your bouquet and extend its longevity. Flower food contains essential nutrients and antibacterial agents that can help your flowers stay fresh for longer.

7. Mist the Petals

In Singapore's humid climate, flowers can benefit from a light misting of water on their petals. This will help them stay hydrated and vibrant, especially if the air conditioning is on.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your flower bouquet remains fresh and beautiful in Singapore's tropical climate. Enjoy the beauty of your flowers for days to come!
