Flower Care 1 o 3 Lilies

Lilies are elegant, fragrant flowers that make a stunning statement in any home or office. Their large blooms and long stems create a luxurious look, but proper care is essential for keeping lilies fresh and vibrant. Petal Perfection Flower Company shares these expert lily care tips to help your flowers last as long as possible.

Trim Stems Immediately

When your lilies arrive, trim the stems at a 45-degree angle before placing them in fresh water. Re-cut the stems every few days to encourage hydration.

Remove Pollen Carefully

As lily blooms open, you’ll notice pollen-covered stamens in the center. Gently remove them to avoid stains on clothing, furniture, and petals while also helping the flowers last longer.

Keep Water Fresh

Lilies drink a lot of water, so check the vase daily and refill as needed. Replace the water every two days to reduce bacteria growth.

Avoid Direct Sunlight

Lilies prefer cool indoor temperatures. Keep arrangements away from direct sun, ceiling fans, and heat sources to preserve their freshness.

Remove Fading Blooms

As individual blooms wilt, remove them so the remaining flowers can continue opening beautifully.
