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 02
Stem Preparation
Cut stems at a 45-degree angle before placing in water
Re-cut every 2–3 days to improve water uptake

Avoid crushing stems
Step 03
Foliage Care

Leaves in water encourage bacteria growth
