What does it mean when the water in the vase becomes yellow or filmy?Updated 10 months ago

Understanding Yellow or Filmy Water in Your Vase

If the water in your flower vase turns yellow or develops a filmy appearance, it usually indicates that the water wasn't prepared with the flower food provided with your shipment. Flower food is designed to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria, which can commonly occur with regular tap water.

To resolve this issue

Change the Water: Empty the discolored water from the vase.

Re-cut the Stems: Trim the stems of your flowers diagonally to help them better absorb fresh water.

Prepare Fresh Water: Refill your vase with clean water and add the flower food according to the directions on the packet that came with your FiftyFlowers order.

By taking these steps, you can refresh your flowers and maintain their beauty for a longer period.
