Care Tip 01

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.
Helpful tip A bright room without strong direct sun helps preserve the original color and finish.

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.

  1. Carefully remove the flowers from their packaging.
  2. Separate the branches, petals, leaves, and stems.
  3. Bend wired stems slowly into a natural position.
  4. Open the outer petals before shaping the flower center.
  5. Turn each flower as you work to create fullness on every side.
For light creases Use a hairdryer from a safe distance on a cool or very low setting. Never apply high heat directly to the petals.

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.

Please avoid soaking Fabric flowers, foam flowers, hand-painted petals, and glued details should not be submerged in water.

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.
After cutting a wired stem Seal the exposed end with a suitable waterproof clear adhesive and allow it to dry completely before placing it in water.

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.
Simple proportion guide A vase measuring around one-third to one-half of the finished arrangement height usually creates a balanced result.

Store Them Safely

Clean and properly stored flowers will be easier to reshape and enjoy when the next season arrives.

  1. Remove dust from the petals, leaves, and stems.
  2. Make sure every part is completely dry.
  3. Loosely wrap delicate flower heads in tissue paper.
  4. Use a sturdy box with enough room to prevent crushing.
  5. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and moisture.
Avoid trapped moisture Do not tightly seal damp flowers inside plastic bags.

Helpful Answers

Faux Flower Care FAQs

Can I wash artificial flowers?
Some plastic-coated flowers can be lightly wiped. We do not recommend soaking the entire arrangement unless the individual product instructions clearly state that it is washable.
Can faux flowers be displayed outdoors?
Only products specifically described as outdoor suitable or UV-resistant should be used outside. Regular indoor flowers may be affected by sunlight, rain, humidity, and changing temperatures.
Can I cut the stems?
Many faux flower stems contain wire and can be shortened with strong wire cutters. Cut carefully and seal exposed wire before placing a stem in water.
Why do my flowers look compressed after delivery?
Flowers may be gently folded for safer shipping. Separate and shape the petals, leaves, branches, and wired stems. The flowers will look fuller after each section has been adjusted.
How often should I clean faux flowers?
A light dusting every few weeks is usually enough. Flowers displayed near an open window, kitchen, fireplace, or air vent may need more frequent attention.
Will artificial flowers fade?
Strong direct sunlight can gradually affect some colors. Displaying flowers in soft, indirect indoor light helps preserve their finish.
