When one is receiving the bouquet they must remove the leaves from the bouquet first especially those that are going below the water lines in the flower vase.

After that one has to add a flower food pack in it so that the water becomes neither too diluted nor concentrated. One also needs to change the vase water every 2 days so that the bouquet does not die.
