In the vibrant heart of London, Soho is renowned for its eclectic charm, artistic energy, and stunning floral arrangements found on every corner. At Flowers Soho, our experienced team of florists has been serving local households, weddings, and businesses for years, cultivating not just beautiful bouquets but also a wealth of knowledge on how to keep them thriving. Whether you’ve just received a sprightly hand-tied bunch or are planning blooms for a special event, our trusted Soho Flowers care tips ensure your arrangements stay fresh and fabulous.
Behind every breathtaking Soho bouquet is meticulous attention to detail, both in selection and aftercare. Our expert florists recommend starting with a clean slate: always choose a spotless vase and fill it with fresh, cool water. Dirty vases harbor bacteria, which can clog stems and shorten vase life.
Trim the stems at a sharp angle, ideally with a clean pair of floral scissors or a sharp knife. Cutting at an angle increases the surface area for water uptake, and prevents the stems from sitting flat at the bottom of the vase. Remove any leaves below the waterline to prevent decay and bacterial growth.
The Soho climate can pose unique challenges for flower care, with seasonal temperature shifts affecting how blooms behave. Our seasonal care guide offers you year-round advice tailored by our seasoned Soho florists:
Warm days and bright sunlight flood Soho’s streets. Place your flowers in a cool room, away from direct sunlight and heat sources like radiators or sunny windowsills. During warmer months, flowers lose moisture more quickly, so check the water level daily and top up as needed. For weddings and business receptions, encourage guests or staff to keep arrangements out of bustling, warm areas.
Colder months mean central heating kicks in and ambient air can become dry. Move bouquets away from heaters and drafty windows. Change the water more frequently, as blooms are slower to take up water in winter and standing water can grow bacteria more easily. For delicate winter arrangements like amaryllis or hellebores, keep vases slightly cooler and mist blooms lightly if the atmosphere feels particularly dry.
