Flower Care Tips (Especially for Houston Heat)
1. Always trim your stems at an angle to help the flower drink in more water.
2. Change the water every couple of days, as Houston heat promotes bacterial growth more than in cooler climates.
3. Keep your floral displays out of direct sun and AC vents to avoid rapid dehydration.
4. Make sure to remove any leaves that would be underwater, as they can promote bacterial growth.
5. If you have flower food included with your bouquet, it's helpful to add it to the water to prolong the life of your flowers. A few drops of household bleach will also help to stave off bacteria.
6. For especially hot weather, try choosing more naturally resilient flowers like orchids, tropicals, or succulents - they tend to fare better in Houston's late-summer humidity than more delicate cut flowers.
7. If you're ordering a same-day flower delivery gift, it's best to order in the morning, so that your flowers don't sit in the heat of the day during in-transit.
