Mother’s Day Posy Care Tips

Happy Mother’s Day!

We are delighted your special someone chose Petal&Post for your beautiful blooms. They have been sourced from local growers within your area who prioritize seasonal long lasting stems and avoid auctions & markets.

Here are some helpful tips to keep them fresher for longer:

Step 1 | Strip those leaves
Before you pop your flowers into a vase, remove any leaves from the lower part of the stems. These can cause a bacterial growth and shorten their lifespan.

Step 2 | Give them a fresh cut
Use sharp, clean scissors to trim the stems at an angle. This gets ride of any dry ends and makes it easier for your blooms to drink up all the good water!

Step 3 | Feed your flowers
Each of our Posies comes with Petal&Post’s signature posy food. Mix the food into 1L of water and don’t forget to give your vase a good clean before adding your flowers.

Step 4 | Keep them chill
Keep your posy out of direct sunlight and in a cooler room if possible. However, avoid aircons and drafty spaces.

Step 5 | Stay Hydrated!
Refresh your vase every few days with a good wipe down and fresh water.
