๐ŸŒผ Easy Flower Care Tips [ENG/KOR]

Fresh flowers always bring a little extra joy to your home. They brighten up any space and add that perfect touch of colour. Whether youโ€™ve received them as a gift or picked them up for yourself, a little care can help your flowers last longer.

At Oh my flower, we want you to enjoy your flowers for as long as possible. Here are a few easy tips to keep them looking great.

๐Ÿ’ General Flower Care: A Few Golden Rules
ยท Keep away from direct sunlight and heat โ€“ Keep your flowers in a cool place. Flowers are delicate, and too much warmth can cause them to wilt faster.
ยท Keep them hydrated โ€“ Whether in a vase or floral foam, flowers need regular watering to stay happy.



๐ŸŒธ Caring for Bouquets & Vase Arrangements
If youโ€™ve received a bouquet or a vase arrangement, hereโ€™s how to make sure it stays fresh for as long as possible:
ยทย Change the water every 1โ€“2 days โ€“ Always use clean, room-temperature water.
ยท Cut the stems on a sharp angle โ€“ Cutting the stems at a diagonal (about 2 cm) every couple of days helps the flowers absorb more water.
ยท Remove any leaves below the waterline โ€“ Leaves in water promote bacteria growth which can harm your flowers.
ยท Keep the vase clean โ€“ A quick rinse with mild soap before refilling does wonders for flower health.

ย 

๐ŸŒธ Caring for Arrangements in Floral Foam
Floral foam (you might know it as โ€œoasisโ€) is used to keep flowers in place โ€” especially for more styled arrangements. Itโ€™s also soaked in water, so keeping it moist is key.
ยท Top up the foam with water every 1โ€“2 days
โ€“ Gently pour water straight onto the foam. Youโ€™ll usually find it at the base of the flowers.
ยท Keep the foam moist but not soggy
โ€“ You want it damp to the touch; too much water can lead to mould.

๐ŸŒท A Little Care Goes a Long Way
Flowers are a little like us - they just need some water, a nice spot to rest, and a bit of love. With these simple care tips, youโ€™ll get to enjoy your blooms for longer and keep them looking gorgeous day after day.
Happy flower keeping!
