Orchid Care Guide
Orchids are easier to care for than you think—with the right tips.
Watering
Water once weekly by flushing the pot with lukewarm water. Orchids prefer to dry out slightly between watering.
Light
Bright, indirect light. Orchids love light but can burn in direct sun. An east-facing window is perfect.
Temperature
65–75°F during the day, slightly cooler at night. Avoid cold drafts.
Lifespan
Several weeks to months
💡 Quick Tips
- • Use a well-draining orchid potting mix, not regular soil
- • Don't let water sit in the pot—allow to drain completely
- • Mist leaves lightly 2–3 times per week
- • Repot every 1–2 years after blooming stops
Hydrangea Care Guide
These lush blooms need consistent moisture to thrive indoors.
Watering
Keep water level high—hydrangeas wilt easily when thirsty. Check water daily and top up as needed.
Light
Bright, indirect light. Some morning sun is fine, but avoid afternoon heat.
Temperature
65–75°F is ideal. Keep away from heating vents and direct sunlight.
Lifespan
10–12 days
💡 Quick Tips
- • Remove lower leaves and strip any leaves below the water line
- • Crush stem ends slightly to increase water absorption
- • Add flower food daily for best results
- • If wilting, completely submerge the entire flower head in cool water for 30 minutes
Sunflower Care Guide
These happy giants deserve proper care to stay bright and cheerful.
Watering
Fill vase with cool water daily. Sunflowers are thirsty flowers—check water level frequently.
Light
Bright indirect light. Ironically, sunflowers don't need direct sun indoors and will last longer in partial shade.
Temperature
Room temperature (65–75°F). Keep away from heat sources and air conditioning vents.
Lifespan
12–14 days
💡 Quick Tips
- • Cut stems at a 45° angle and remove lower leaves
- • Use a tall, sturdy vase—sunflowers are top-heavy
- • Add flower food to water (one packet per quart)
- • Cut a fresh slice off stems every 2–3 days
Tulip Care Guide
Keep your tulips standing tall and colorful throughout the season.
Watering
Fill vase with cool water daily. Tulips drink a lot! Keep water level high and change water every 2–3 days.
Light
Bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which causes petals to open too quickly and fade.
Temperature
Keep tulips cool—50–65°F is ideal. The cooler the room, the longer they last.
Lifespan
10–14 days
💡 Quick Tips
- • Remove lower leaves before placing in water
- • Keep away from ripening fruit and flowers like apples and bananas
- • Tulips continue to grow after being cut—use a tall vase
- • Add flower food to extend vase life
Rose Care Guide

Watering
Change water daily. Keep stems submerged in cool water. Remove lower leaves to prevent bacterial growth.
Light
Indirect bright light, away from direct sun and heat sources. A cool room (60–70°F) extends bloom life.
Temperature
60–70°F (15–21°C) is ideal. Avoid drafts, heating vents, and ripening fruit nearby.
Lifespan
7–14 days with proper care
💡 Quick Tips
- • Trim 1–2 inches off stems at a 45° angle before placing in water
