How do I take care of my flowers once they are delivered?
Now that you have your lovely flowers for the holiday season, you would like to preserve their beauty for as long as possible. We have provided some fresh flower care tips to help. If you are giving flowers to friends or family, feel free to share this page with them so that they will be able to care for their flowers soon after their delivery.
First things first
Most flowers are delivered with a plastic covering. Remove all plastic to all your flowers to breathe. Next, if your flowers are already in a vase or you have just placed them in a vase, refill the vase with fresh water. Your flowers will love the hydration.
Where you place your flowers can make a difference
It is best to avoid placing your flower in areas of extreme temperatures: windowsills, direct sunlight all day, or an overly hot room. These can cause wilting or dry out your flowers. Instead, place your flowers somewhere where they will be in cooler and more controlled conditions.
It is always good to prevent the possibility of ethylene gas reducing the life of your flowers. This can often come from placing flowers near fruit or cigarette smoke.
Maintaining your flower’s beautiful presentation
As your beautiful flowers are on display, check up on them and tend to them periodically over a series of days.
- For vase arrangements, keep your vase filled with fresh water to provide them with proper hydration.
- For basket arrangements, it is good to also provide them with hydration. We suggest daily fresh water hydration.
- Anytime the water begins to become cloudy, change out the water. You will need to clean your vase with soap and water, rinse thoroughly, and then fill your vase back up with fresh water. Using soapy water rather than only rinsing can help remove bacteria that could cause your flowers to die more quickly.
- Remove any strongly wilted contents: wilting leaves or stems. This will help you maintain a fresher and neater look.
- Cut your stems at an angle using a sharp knife. We recommend cutting them one to two inches from the bottom of the stem. This will allow your flowers to hydrate and absorb the water properly. Using scissors to cut the stems is not recommended, as scissors can crush the stems and hinder the flower’s ability to drink water.
About Aspen Tower Florist
About Aspen Tower Florist
Welcome to Aspen Tower Florist, your real, local florist in Greensburg, Indiana — proudly serving Decatur County and surrounding communities.
Our name, Aspen Tower Florist, is inspired by the original aspen tree that famously grew from the courthouse clock tower in downtown Greensburg in the 1870s — a symbol of resilience, renewal, and small-town pride. Just like that legendary tree, our designs are deeply rooted in tradition yet reach toward creativity and modern artistry.
Every bouquet is handcrafted by our master floral designer, bringing over 30 years of experience and passion to every arrangement. We specialize in funeral flowers, sympathy arrangements, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and same-day flower delivery throughout Greensburg, Indiana and surrounding areas.
When you order directly from Aspen Tower Florist, you’re supporting a true local business — not a national call center or middleman website. Companies like FTD, Teleflora, 1-800-Flowers, Ava’s Flowers, From You Flowers, Blooms Today, and Ruth’s Roses are order gatherers who often charge hidden service fees and forward your order elsewhere. That means you pay more — and your recipient gets less.
By ordering direct from a real local florist, you save money, avoid unnecessary fees, and receive more flowers for your dollar — all with the personalized service only a local designer can provide.
We’re located right here in Greensburg, IN, just minutes from Gilliland-Howell Funeral Home, Porter-Oliger-Pearson Funeral Home, Decatur County Memorial Hospital, and local churches and schools. We deliver daily across Decatur County with care, compassion, and attention to detail in every stem.
At Aspen Tower Florist, we don’t just make arrangements — we create connections.
