FAQs
How long will these carnations typically last?
With proper care and water changes, these carnations can typically last between 7 to 14 days.
Do I need to add flower food?
While not strictly required, using a standard floral preservative packet in the water can help prolong the life of the blooms.
Can these be used for weddings or events?
Yes, their consistent color and durability make them a popular choice for event decor and personal floral arrangements.
Are these stems fragrant?
Carnations generally have a very subtle, light, and pleasant scent, but it is not overpowering.
Can I keep these in direct sunlight?
It is recommended to keep them in a bright area, but out of direct, intense sunlight to prevent dehydration.
Troubleshooting
Flowers appearing droopy shortly after arrival
Re-trim the stems at a fresh angle and place them in a deep container of water in a cool area for several hours to hydrate.
Petals showing signs of browning
Gently remove the outer 'guard petals' if they are damaged, or ensure the water is being changed frequently enough to prevent bacterial buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your carnations, trim 1-2 centimeters off the base of each stem at a 45-degree angle using sharp shears. Remove any foliage that would fall below the water line to prevent bacterial growth. Place the bouquet in a clean vase and keep it away from direct sunlight, drafts, or ripening fruit, which can release ethylene gas and shorten the flowers' life. Refresh the water every two days for optimal longevity.
