Caring for Your Cut Hydrangea Flowers


Now that you have your freshly cut hydrangea flowers in hand, it's essential to provide them with the care they need to stay vibrant and beautiful for as long as possible. Follow these simple steps to ensure your hydrangeas stay fresh and vibrant:


  • Trim the Stems: Before placing your hydrangeas in a vase, trim the stems at an angle. This allows for better water absorption and helps prevent wilting.

  • Water Check: Make sure to change the water in the vase regularly, we recommend every 2 days and freshly cut the stems. Hydrangeas are thirsty flowers and will appreciate clean water to keep them hydrated.

  • Hydration is Key: To keep your hydrangeas looking fresh, mist them with water regularly. Hydrangeas benefit from a humid environment, which helps prevent wilting.

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: While hydrangeas love light, direct sunlight can cause them to wilt prematurely. Place your vase in a spot with bright, indirect light for prolonged freshness.


With these simple care tips, you can enjoy the beauty of hydrangeas in your home for weeks on end, creating an inviting and captivating ambiance that's sure to delight all who enter.


So, we hope you get a chance to make the most of these beauties whilst they are in season and remember, we have them available to pick up by the stem in our store.


Till the next time, G x
