Calla Lily Flower Care

Calla lily flower care tips

To make your calla lilies last as long as possible, try to handle them as little as possible, taking extra care to avoid touching the flower heads themselves.

Always cut fresh flowers with a sharp knife. Scissors or a dull knife can crush the
stem of a flower and reduce the amount of water that can reach the bloom. When
you are cutting the stem place the knife on an angle and slice through the stem.
This creates a point at the end of the stem which maximizes the amount of water
that can reach the bloom.

If you run out or do not have flower food (You can purchase flower food at your local florist) simply add a few tablespoons of 7-UP or Sprite to the water. These beverages contain citric acid which is one of the ingredients contained in a package of flower food.

Always keep the water level topped up in the vase or container which holds your flowers.

Never place your fresh flowers where there might be a warm draft, such as, the top of a refrigerator or beside a heating vent. Fresh flowers last longer when they are at room temperature or lower.

When arranging calla lilies in a bridal or bridesmaid bouquet, keep in mind that the flower stems can drip, leaving stains or marks on dresses or other material. To avoid this, let the flowers stay at least 30 minutes out of water before holding close to fabric. As another tip - carefully dipping the ends of the stems in melted wax and allowing to dry will seal the ends of the flowers and prevent any drips!
