Made to Be Enjoyed Beyond One Season
With a little thoughtful care, your faux flowers can remain fresh-looking, naturally shaped, and beautifully styled throughout every season. Follow this guide to protect their color, texture, petals, leaves, and stems.
Display With Care
Where you place your flowers can affect how they look over time. Soft, indirect indoor light is usually the ideal setting.
- Keep flowers away from prolonged direct sunlight.
- Avoid fireplaces, radiators, and strong heat sources.
- Rotate the arrangement occasionally for even exposure.
- Keep indoor flowers protected from rain and humidity.
- Use flowers outdoors only when marked outdoor suitable.
Shape After Delivery
Flowers may be gently folded during shipping to protect delicate petals and reduce packaging size. A few minutes of shaping will help restore their full, natural appearance.
- Carefully remove the flowers from their packaging.
- Separate the branches, petals, leaves, and stems.
- Bend wired stems slowly into a natural position.
- Open the outer petals before shaping the flower center.
- Turn each flower as you work to create fullness on every side.
Clean Gently
Regular light dusting is the easiest way to keep artificial flowers looking realistic.
- Use a microfiber cloth or soft makeup brush.
- Use a hairdryer only on a cool, low setting.
- Wipe small marks with a lightly dampened soft cloth.
- Test any cleaning method on a hidden area first.
- Dry plastic-coated stems immediately after wiping.
Avoid bleach, alcohol, perfume, essential oils, abrasive cleaners, and strong household sprays.
Styling With Water
A little clear water can make flowers in a transparent vase look especially realistic, but not every artificial stem is suitable for water.
- Use water only with fully sealed or plastic-coated stems.
- Keep petals and leaves above the waterline.
- Replace the water regularly.
- Wash and dry the vase before refilling.
- Never submerge exposed wire, fabric, paper, or foam.
Choose the Right Vase
A well-proportioned vase supports the stems and gives the arrangement a naturally balanced appearance.
- Choose a narrow neck for a small number of stems.
- Choose a medium opening for everyday bouquets.
- Use a weighted vase for large branches or heavy flowers.
- Vary the stem heights for a softer, more natural shape.
- Add floral foam or fillers when extra support is needed.
Store Them Safely
Clean and properly stored flowers will be easier to reshape and enjoy when the next season arrives.
- Remove dust from the petals, leaves, and stems.
- Make sure every part is completely dry.
- Loosely wrap delicate flower heads in tissue paper.
- Use a sturdy box with enough room to prevent crushing.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture.
