How to Keep Your Flowers Fresh — A Dubai Care Guide
Fresh flowers can last a week or more with a little care — especially important in Dubai's warm climate and air-conditioned interiors. Follow these simple steps to enjoy your bouquet from OnlineFlowerDelivery.ae for as long as possible.
- Trim the stems. Cut 2–3 cm off each stem at a 45° angle with a sharp knife before placing them in water, so they can drink freely.
- Use clean, cool water. Fill a clean vase with cool water and the flower food provided, and change the water every two days.
- Remove lower leaves. Strip any leaves that would sit below the waterline — they rot quickly and shorten vase life.
- Keep them cool. Place the vase away from direct sunlight, heat and the direct blast of the air conditioner. A cooler spot dramatically extends freshness in Dubai.
- Keep away from fruit. Ripening fruit releases ethylene gas that ages flowers faster.
- Re-trim every few days. A fresh cut each time you change the water keeps stems drinking.
