​Flower Icon Bouquet Care

1. Fresh flowers from Flower Icon, your trusted San Francisco online flower delivery service, arrive in elegant floral wrapping that helps preserve their shape. Remove the packaging carefully and place the bouquet in a clean vase.

​2. Trim the stems at a 0.4-inch angle using sharp scissors. This improves water absorption. Remove excess leaves and thorns to prevent bacteria growth. Repeat the trimming process every 2-3 days for optimal freshness.

3. Fill the vase with cold, clean water and add the flower food (1/3 of the sachet) provided with your delivery. This nourishes the flowers and keeps them looking vibrant. Refresh the water and flower food every 2-3 days.

4. For maximum longevity, place your bouquet in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight. 

Care for Floral Compositions in Boxes and Baskets

1. Floral arrangements from Flower Icon are meticulously crafted using a floristic sponge that retains moisture. To maintain freshness, water the sponge daily by adding some clean water directly to it.

2. Position your arrangement in a cool, shaded area, away from direct sunlight. This ensures your arrangement remains fresh and beautiful.
