You can generally expect your flowers to last from 4 -7 days provided they are cared for correctly.
5 main steps will help your flowers to last as long as possible:
1. Stems should be cut on an angle (in or under running water if possible) as soon as you receive the flowers
2. Ensure the vase that is used is clean and filled with fresh water
3. Always keep an eye on the water levels and change the water completely every two days
4. Keep the flowers out of direct sunlight
5. Keep the flowers away from drafts and air-conditioning
If you feel the flowers have not lasted for at least three days let us know within this time by calling +61 3 9689 9927. Once we are confident that they have been cared for as recommended, we will happy replace the flowers.
Please note that we may firstly request a photo of the flowers and can only replace them if we are able to pick up the old flowers at the same time as we deliver the replacements.
