• FRESH WATER
• The first two days to keep your flower
  arrangement is critical to keep it fresh and
  alive. You should fill up the vase with water
  twice a day (morning and afternoon) trying to
  change the water once a day complete. If you add
  a couple of ice cubes, cold water will do better

• LOCATION
• Avoid placing the floral directly to sunlight (or
  bright light) and where there are air drafts. It
  should be in a cool place in the house to last
  longer. If you spend several hours outside the
  home, place the flowers in a place that is safe,
  avoids placing flowers near fruits, as they give
  off a gas that would accelerate the maturation of
  the flowers.

  different ways and care may vary upon the
  container that holds the arrangement.

  oasis (green foam), you must flip the array and
  fill it with water right away. This type of
  arrangement is somewhat stiff, so you need not
  fear of losing its shape.

  placed under running water to remove dirty water
  and replace with clean water.
