Receiving a bouquet of fresh flowers is one of life’s simple joys. Whether it’s a thoughtful gift, a treat for your home, or a surprise delivery just because you want those blooms to stay vibrant for as long as possible. With just a little care, you can extend the life of your fresh flowers and enjoy their beauty for days, even weeks.

At Darcey Flowers, we believe every bloom deserves the best care. Here’s your ultimate flower care guide to help keep your arrangements looking stunning at summer.

Why Fresh Flower Care Matters

Fresh flowers do more than just brighten up a room—they uplift moods, add natural elegance, and show thoughtfulness. But without proper care, even the most gorgeous bouquet can wilt prematurely. By following simple steps, you’ll maximize both the visual appeal and lifespan of your blooms.

Care Guide

  1. Gently unwrap all packaging from the flowers.
  2. Prepare the flowers on a vase filled with clean water.
  3. Place the flowers away from ripening fruits and some heat factors which can cause flowers to have a shortened life span.
  4. Remove any leaves and older petals floating on the water surface.
  5. Re-cut the stems every 2 to 3 days and at the same time change the water.
  6. Add flower food as per the guide on the sachet.
  7. Store the flowers in a cool room away from direct sunlight.

Love their amazing flowers but I love their customer service more. They’re lovely to deal with! They communicate with you over WhatsApp after you place an order, make sure you like the flowers before they are sent out and are very considerate about the time at which you want the flowers delivered!

First time using Darcey Flowers and it was a great experience from start to finish. The whole process was incredibly smooth. Communication was excellent, responses were swift, and the team was friendly, helpful, and professional throughout. I received proper updates, the same-day delivery was very fast, and the bouquet arrived right on time. Most importantly, the flowers were fresh and beautifully presented with the elegant note. Highly recommended!
