Trim the Stems: Cut about 1–2 cm from the base of each stem at a 45° angle before placing them in water.
Use a Clean Vase: Fill it with fresh, cool water and flower food, if included.
Mind the Thistle: Eryngium (thistle) is hardy and long-lasting. Just ensure it’s upright and not crushed during placement.
Remove Submerged Foliage: Any leaves or greenery under the waterline should be removed to prevent bacteria.
Change Water Every 2 Days: Clean water keeps both roses and thistles vibrant longer. Trim stems again slightly with each change.
Avoid Heat & Drafts: Keep the bouquet in a cool, shaded space away from direct sunlight or air conditioning.
