Fresh Flower Care 101

Fresh Flower Care 101

At Prairie Lane Flowers, we believe that flowers are the perfect way to express your love, gratitude, appreciation or self indulgence! That's why we are dedicated to providing our customers with the freshest and most beautiful flowers available. Once the flowers leave our farm, it's up to YOU our lovely customer to take care of them.

With proper care, it is typical for fresh flowers to last anywhere from 5 – 7 days. Different varieties of flowers will last longer than others. Some can last up to two weeks! We guarantee our flowers will maintain their beauty for 24 hours after shipment has been fulfilled.

Your New Flower Routine
  • Use your favourite CLEAN vase
  • Flowers LOVE water, they drink a LOT, make sure your stems have plenty of fresh clean water and a little bit of food to maintain their optimal health. Our favourite food solution is an easy 3,2,1 mix of 3tbsp Sugar, 2tbsp Vinegar and 1L of Clean Water. Make sure all stems are submerged in 3-4" of water each day, keeping as much greenery out as possible.
  • Trim the stems every 3-4 days; just a small amount, please don't go too crazy or you'll end up with no stem! Trimming will help keep your thirsty stems happy as they guzzle that sugary H20 solution.
  • Keep cool and out of hot direct sunlight.
  • ENJOY!
