# How to Keep Flowers Fresh in Singapore Heat

> Protect cut flowers from Singapore heat with simple transport, water, trimming and placement habits that reduce wilting after delivery or pickup.

**To keep flowers fresh in Singapore’s heat, minimise time outdoors, get stems into clean water quickly and keep the arrangement away from direct sun and warm windows.** Heat speeds water loss, so the first few hours after pickup or delivery matter.

## Get flowers indoors quickly

 Do not leave a bouquet in a parked car, on a sunny balcony or beside a hot window. If you are carrying flowers before giving them to someone, choose an air-conditioned route and keep the trip as short as practical.

## Use a clean vase

 Wash the vase before filling it. Bacteria in old water can block stems and shorten vase life. Follow any flower-food instructions supplied by the florist rather than adding random household ingredients.

## Trim stems before arranging

 Use clean, sharp scissors or secateurs and remove a small section from the stem ends. Remove leaves that would sit below the waterline, where they can decay.

## Refresh the water

 Check water levels daily because bouquets can drink quickly. Replace cloudy water and rinse the vase when needed. Remove damaged foliage or spent blooms so the arrangement stays clean.

## Choose a cooler position

 Air-conditioned indoor rooms generally suit cut flowers better than hot, sunny spaces. Avoid placing bouquets directly under harsh airflow, beside appliances that emit heat or in strong afternoon sun.

## Different flowers behave differently

 Some varieties naturally last longer than others. For a broader care routine, see our [complete Singapore flower care guide](https://buyflowers.com.sg/flower-care-singapore/).
