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

🌸 Chrysanthemums
- Naturally long-lasting flowers

- Re-trim stems every few days
🌺 Lilies

🌷 Tulips

🍃 6. Mixed Bouquets & Foliage
- All arrangements are made with a mix of conditioned flowers and foliage

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