Addressing Discoloration in Vase Water

Noticing yellow or filmy water in your flower vase? This is typically a sign that the vase water wasn’t prepared with the included flower food packets. Flower food is essential as it helps inhibit mold and bacteria growth, which can be a common issue with regular tap water.

Here’s what to do if you encounter this issue:

Remove the Old Water: Empty out the discolored water from your vase.

Re-cut the Stems: Give each flower stem a fresh diagonal cut under running water. This helps them absorb water more efficiently.

Prepare New Vase Water: Clean your vase and then fill it with fresh, cool water. Add the flower food according to the directions on the packets that came with your FiftyFlowers order.

By following these steps, you can ensure your flowers continue to thrive in a clean environment. Regularly changing the water and using flower food will help keep your blooms fresh and vibrant.
