Flower Care 101: Tips for Keeping Your Kingston Road Flower Market Blooms Fresh

There's something indescribably magical about fresh flowers. They can brighten up a room, put a smile on your face, and add a touch of nature's beauty to any setting. But as anyone who has ever purchased fresh flowers knows, the vitality of these vibrant blooms can be short-lived if not taken care of properly. Here at Kingston Road Flower Market, we are not just committed to providing you with the most beautiful flowers in the market, but we also want to share our expertise to help you keep them looking fresh for longer.


Selection is Key


The first step to having long-lasting flowers begins even before you bring them home. Choosing the freshest blooms from our variety of exceptional flowers at Kingston Road Flower Market is essential. Our dedicated team is always ready to assist you to hand-pick the healthiest and freshest flowers for your requirements.


The Right Cut


After you've made your selection, the real work begins. It's crucial to cut the stems at an angle, which allows the flowers to draw water up the stem more effectively. At Kingston Road Flower Market, our skilled florists do this for you. However, if you decide to trim them once more at home, remember to always use sharp scissors.


Water Wisely


Flowers are thirsty, and it's your job to keep them hydrated. Change the water in your vase every two days. But be careful not to over-water them as this could cause the stems to become soggy and rotten quickly.


Avoid Direct Sunlight


While plants in your garden love sunlight, cut flowers in a vase do not. The heat and light can cause your gorgeous flowers to wilt. Find a nice, cool spot in your home away from direct sunlight where your flowers can shine.


Food for Flowers


Did you know flowers need food too? Ask for a packet of flower food the next time you visit the Kingston Road Flower Market. This food has a unique blend of ingredients that helps extend the life of your flowers.


Pamper Your Petals


And finally, treat your flowers with the delicate touch they deserve. Avoid touching the blooms too often as it might bruise them, leading to early wilting.


Kingston Road Flower Market is more than just a flower shop; we are your partner in making your floral dreams come true. Whether you need advice on how to take care of your blooms or are looking for the perfect bouquet for a special occasion, we have you covered.
