Caring for your simply blooms arrangements

Aqua Arrangements
& Handtied Bouquets

To keep your flowers looking their best, a few simple steps make all the difference:

Keep the aqua bag upright at all times so the water reservoir stays secure.
Place the arrangement in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, radiators, or draughts.
Check the water level every couple of days — if it feels light or the flowers look thirsty, gently top up the water in the centre of the arrangement.
Avoid moving the flowers too often, as this can disturb the stems and shorten their lifespan.
After 3–5 days, you can refresh the design by trimming the stems and placing them in a vase if you’d like to extend their life further and a little of the plant food provided to the clean water.
For Handtied Bouquets, snip off the end of the stems at an angle, shake a little of the plant food into clean fresh water in your vase and arrange the flowers, ensuring no foliage is below your waterline.

To keep your flowers looking fresh for as long as possible, follow these simple care tips:

Keep the arrangement in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, radiators, or draughts.
Check the floral foam every couple of days — if it feels light or the flowers look thirsty, gently pour a small amount of water into the centre of the design to re‑hydrate the foam.
Avoid moving the arrangement too often, as this can loosen stems and reduce longevity.
Remove any wilted blooms or foliage to help the rest of the flowers last longer.
Place the arrangement on a protective surface to avoid moisture marks.

A little top‑up and a cool environment will help your flowers stay beautiful for days.

Light: Place your plants in a spot with gentle, indirect light unless the care label suggests otherwise. Too much direct sun can scorch leaves, while too little can slow growth.
Water: Check the soil regularly. Water when the top layer feels dry, allowing excess water to drain away. Avoid letting plants sit in water, as this can cause root rot.
Temperature: Keep arrangements away from radiators, draughts, and cold windowsills. Most plants prefer a steady, moderate temperature.
Feeding: For longer‑term arrangements, a small amount of plant food every few weeks during the growing season helps keep them vibrant.
Tidying: Remove any yellowing leaves or spent flowers to encourage new growth and keep the arrangement looking fresh.
