Re-cut stems under water and strip lower leaves. Kept cool, away from heat, they’ll open beautifully.
Shop Roses →GerberasHeavy heads love support: a taller vase with shallow, frequently-changed water.
Shop gerberas →CarnationsHardy and long-lasting. Keep well away from ripening fruit, which shortens their life.
Shop carnations →OrchidsMist lightly, avoid direct sun, and water potted orchids only once the mix feels dry.
Shop orchids →AlstroemeriaOne of the longest-lasting cut flowers — up to two weeks. Strip leaves below the waterline, as they fade first.
