FLOWERS BY JAYKE

Flower Care Guide

Thank you for choosing Made By Jayke. All of our flowers are carefully conditioned before being arranged and delivered, meaning they are hydrated, trimmed, and prepared to ensure the best possible vase life on arrival. Fresh flowers are natural products, and with the right care, you can enjoy them for longer.

Step 01

General Water Care

  • Place flowers in clean water as soon as possible
  • Use a clean vase with lukewarm water
  • Change water every 1–2 days
  • Add flower food if provided and dissolve fully
  • Top up water daily as needed

Step 02

Stem Preparation

  • Cut stems at a 45-degree angle before placing in water
  • Re-cut every 2–3 days to improve water uptake
  • Use sharp scissors or a clean knife
  • Avoid crushing stems

Step 03

Foliage Care

  • Remove any leaves below the water line
  • Leaves in water encourage bacteria growth
  • Trim excess foliage for cleaner water and longer vase life
  • Keep foliage above the waterline dry

Step 04

Placement & Environment

  • Keep flowers in a cool room
  • Avoid direct sunlight
  • Avoid radiators, heaters, or fireplaces
  • Keep away from ripening fruit
  • Avoid draughts or extreme temperature changes

“Fresh, clean water is the key to longevity.”

🌼 5. Flower-Specific Care

🌹 Roses

  • Remove outer “guard petals” if present
  • Re-cut stems every 2 days
  • Keep well hydrated

🌸 Chrysanthemums

  • Naturally long-lasting flowers
  • Remove fading leaves regularly
  • Re-trim stems every few days

🌺 Lilies

  • Remove pollen stamens to prevent staining
  • Remove fading blooms as they open
  • Keep in a well-ventilated space if fragrance is strong

🌻 Gerberas

  • Prefer shallow water (too deep can soften stems)
  • Keep water very clean
  • Support in a tall vase if needed

🌷 Tulips

  • Continue growing after cutting (normal behaviour)
  • Keep in cool conditions for longer life
  • Re-cut stems every 2–3 days
  • Rotate vase as they naturally bend toward light

🍃 6. Mixed Bouquets & Foliage

  • All arrangements are made with a mix of conditioned flowers and foliage
  • Different flowers have different natural lifespans
  • Remove fading stems to maintain appearance
  • Foliage may last longer than blooms and can be trimmed if needed

⏳ 7. Expected Vase Life

  • Standard bouquets: 5–7 days
  • Roses, lilies, chrysanthemums: 7–10+ days
  • Tulips and seasonal flowers: 3–7 days (natural variation applies)

Ready for a new arrangement?

All flowers are carefully conditioned before delivery to ensure freshness and longevity. As flowers are natural and seasonal, slight variation in appearance and lifespan is completely normal and part of their natural beauty.
