A little extra care can make a big difference for any size flower arrangement or fresh flower bouquet. Most floral arrangements last 4-7 days or longer, depending on the flowers used and the care they receive, if tended to. Here are the three top tips for looking after your flowers:
Keep the vase filled (or floral foam soaked) with water containing the flower food we gave you. Flower foods make flowers last longer but it is important to follow the mixing directions on the flower food packet. Most packets are to be mixed with c a pint of water. Flower foods should not be diluted with more water than is specified on the packet.
Food
If the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely with properly mixed flower food solution. If possible, re-cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife. Be sure to use a sharp knife or clippers that will not crush the stems. Immediately place the stems into solution. Be careful not to cut yourself!
Temperature
Keep flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators. Appliances like televisions give off heat, which causes flowers to dehydrate. Most flowers will last longer under cool conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flower Delivery To Colombia
Do I have to pay for delivery to Colombia?
No, the listed prices include delivery and any taxes.
Does Arena use its own flowers for flower delivery to the Colombia?
Sending flowers from the UK across the world to Colombia doesn’t make sense, as it's not environmentally friendly.
So we work with partner florists in Colombia, which guarantees you get the freshest flowers and the speediest delivery.
Our partner florists in Colombia are vetted and must meet exacting standards, so a high quality arrangement is assured.
Do the flowers for Colombia look like the ones in the photos?
As far as possible, yes. However, each country, including Colombia, has a different style of floristry
and stem availability so the exact shape and style of the finished arrangement may vary slightly.
When will I know if my flowers have been delivered? Does Arena’s usual tracking apply?
We will send the usual order confirmation notifications,
once we know your flowers have been delivered to the recipient in the Colombia.
Naturally, whilst we endeavour to be as prompt as possible, due to time differences and distance,
delivery confirmations relating to flowers for Colombia
will not be quite as timely as those confirming delivery of our own bouquets in the UK.
I just wanted to say that you guys are brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I have used your company several times before and each time I do, I am more impressed with your customer service and your products. I ordered some flowers for a friend today (Back to Black - an absolute cracker!) at 13.05, I received a call from my friend at 16.25 to say thank you for the absolutely stunning arrangement!
I shop a lot online and have yet to come across a company as good as yours, your flowers are always fantastic and slightly different from the norm, your free delivery service has never let me down and today was amazing, and your customer service team are friendly, professional, helpful and efficient. I am telling everyone I know about you - and even some people I don't!!
Loving your work guys, keep it up!

Having used nearly all the best flower shops in London over 40 years YOU beat them out of sight, to the extent that my friend gets upset if your charming delivery man isn't a regular visitor !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Many thanks for the beautiful white roses that you delivered to my wife at her place of work. She has had so many comments regarding the quality of the flowers and she also mentioned how well packaged and presented they were. I searched various floral websites and it was only on yours, that I found the perfect bouquet to truly represent our 1st wedding anniversary.
I will certainly be adding you to my favourites for future celebrations.
