7 Bouquet Care Mistakes Almost Everyone Makes

Bouquet wilting by day two or three? It's probably not the flowers — it's one of these common mistakes.

1. An unwashed vase

Invisible bacterial film on an old vase's walls contaminates fresh water within hours. Wash the vase with soap, not just a rinse.

2. Fruit sitting nearby

Ripe fruit releases ethylene, a gas that speeds up flower aging.

3. Water left unchanged for days

Stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for bacteria that clog the stem from inside.

4. A sunny windowsill

Especially relevant in Tashkent: summer sun heats vase water within a couple of hours.

5. An AC unit or heater nearby

Sudden temperature swings dry out petals faster than stable room temperature does.

6. Stems never re-cut

The cut seals within hours — without a refresh, the stem gradually stops absorbing water.

7. Wilted flowers left in the bouquet

One decaying stem speeds up aging in the rest and spoils the water.

All of these are easy to fix. Need a fresh bouquet right now? Order from Luna Flowers.
