If you have bought beautiful Christmas flowers from us, we are happy to share our simple yet effective tips to help you care for the gorgeous Christmas flowers.

Unbox with Care

When you receive a Christmas flower delivery from your favourite florist William Landing, handle the box gently and open it with care. Remove the flowers and vases carefully to avoid damaging any delicate blooms.

Trim the Stems

Using sharp scissors or floral shears, trim about an inch off the bottom of each stem at a 45-degree angle. This allows the flowers to absorb water more efficiently.

Choose the Right Vase

Select a clean vase that's just the right size to accommodate your Christmas flowers. Make sure it's free from any residue or bacteria to keep your flowers healthy.

Freshwater is Key

Fill the vase with fresh, room-temperature water and add the provided flower food or a mixture of one teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of vinegar. Change the water every 2-3 days to keep it clean and fresh.

Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat

Place your Christmas flowers in a cool spot away from direct sunlight, radiators, and heating vents. Exposure to heat and direct sunlight can cause the blooms to wilt prematurely.

Remove Fading Blooms

As some flowers begin to fade, remove them from the arrangement to allow the remaining ones to thrive and look their best.

Mist the Flowers

Spritz the petals of your Christmas flowers lightly with water to maintain humidity and keep them looking fresh.

Keep Away from Fruits

Ethylene gas released by fruits can cause flowers to age more rapidly. Keep your Christmas flowers away from fruit bowls to extend their lifespan.

Consider Same Day Flower Delivery

If you're sending Christmas flowers as a gift, consider using same day flower delivery from William's Landing Bloom. This ensures that the flowers arrive fresh and beautiful at the recipient's doorstep.

Caring for your Christmas flowers doesn't have to be complicated. With a little attention and these straightforward tips, you can enjoy the beauty of your holiday blooms for longer. Whether you received a stunning bouquet or ordered same-day flower delivery for a loved one, a little TLC goes a long way in preserving the holiday spirit that these flowers bring to your home.
