How to Care for Flowers in Baskets and Boxes

Caring for flower arrangements in baskets or boxes is much easier than tending to a bouquet. You’ll notice the convenience as soon as you receive your beautiful arrangement from Flowers Valley—there’s no need to search for the perfect vase!

Caring for Flowers in Baskets and Boxes

• Flowers in these arrangements are placed in special “floral foam” that retains moisture, so there’s no need to trim the stems.
• However, the foam tends to dry out quickly, so it’s important to water it daily.
• Never water the flowers from above or submerge the entire arrangement. Instead, use a narrow-spouted watering can or even a glass. Gently move the flowers aside and pour water onto the green foam in a thin stream—it will absorb the water instantly.
• Depending on the size of the arrangement, about half to one full glass of water is usually enough.

More Care Tips for Basket and Box Arrangements

• The water should be clean, at room temperature or slightly cool.
• Keep the arrangement away from direct sunlight, heaters, and drafts.
• Make sure to remove any fruits nearby, as the ethylene gas they release can cause the flowers to wilt quickly.
• You can lightly mist the arrangement with a fine spray bottle to create a more humid environment. Just be careful not to let large droplets form, especially in the center of the blooms, as this can lead to rotting from the inside.

Follow these tips, and your beautiful custom arrangements from Flowers Valley will bring you joy for as long as possible!
