Cut flower bouquet

• Carefully remove all packaging.
• Keep the string tied around stems if you want to keep the shape, remove it if you want to arrange the flowers yourself.
• Clean your vase thoroughly using hot water and washing up liquid, or rinse with water and a tablespoon of bleach. This will neutralise any bacteria on the inside of the vase and it will help your flowers live longer.
• Holding the bouquet up to the vase to get the right length then use a sharp, clean knife or scissors, cut 3cm off each stem at a 45-degree angle.
• Place the bouquet in your vase, check that it sits in proportion to the vase, then top up with freshly drawn water until the vase is three-quarters full.
• Be careful to remove any fronds and leaves which lie below the water level; these will decompose and contaminate the water and could damage your flowers.
• Place the bouquet in a cool position, away from heating or cooling vents, appliances, direct sunlight or draughts. 
• Keep away from ripening fruit.
• Add fresh water daily.
