Can I Send Lilies on Mother's Day?

How to Care for Lilies After Receiving Them

After receiving lilies, it's important to provide proper care to ensure their longevity and beauty. Here are some care tips:

 

1. Trim the stems

    

   Upon receiving lilies, trim about 1 inch off the bottom of the stems at a 45-degree angle using sharp scissors or pruning shears. This will allow the lilies to absorb water more effectively.

 

2. Remove leaves below water level

    

   Remove any leaves that will be submerged in water to prevent bacterial growth.

 

3. Place in clean water

    

   Fill a clean vase with fresh, lukewarm water and place the lilies in the vase immediately after trimming the stems.

 

4. Avoid direct sunlight and drafts

    

   Place the vase in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heaters, or drafts to prevent wilting or drying out of the lilies.

 

5. Change water regularly

    

   Change the water every 2-3 days or when it becomes cloudy, and recut the stems to maintain water uptake.

 

6. Remove wilted flowers

    

   As lilies bloom, some flowers may wilt faster than others. Remove wilted flowers promptly to prevent the release of ethylene gas, which can shorten the vase life of the remaining flowers.

 

7. Handle with care

    

   Avoid touching the lilies with bare hands as the oils from your skin can cause damage. Use clean hands or gloves when handling the flowers.

Following these care tips can help prolong the freshness and beauty of your lilies, allowing you to enjoy them for a longer period of time. If you have any further questions about caring for lilies, feel free to contact FlowerAdvisor for expert advice.
