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.
Pink oriental lilies with bright pink gerberas are combined to create a mood usually reserved for soft lighting and those eyes-half-closed smiles shared at sunset. This hand-tie of pastel blossoms create a delightfully dizzying floral experience.
Frequently Asked Questions About Flower Delivery To New Zealand
Do I have to pay for delivery to New Zealand?
No, the listed prices include delivery and any taxes.
Does Arena use its own flowers for flower delivery to the New Zealand?
Sending flowers from the UK across the world to New Zealand doesn’t make sense, as it's not environmentally friendly.
So we work with partner florists in New Zealand, which guarantees you get the freshest flowers and the speediest delivery.
Our partner florists in New Zealand are vetted and must meet exacting standards, so a high quality arrangement is assured.
Do the flowers for New Zealand look like the ones in the photos?
As far as possible, yes. However, each country, including New Zealand, 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 New Zealand.
Naturally, whilst we endeavour to be as prompt as possible, due to time differences and distance,
delivery confirmations relating to flowers for New Zealand
will not be quite as timely as those confirming delivery of our own bouquets in the UK.

Thank you so much. The flowers are for the lady who is like a mother to me on her 80th birthday, so this means a lot for us. I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness. How very nice of you to treat us like a friend, not just a customer!

I would just like to say I am very impressed with the service, I had a text and a e mail to confirm the flowers had been delivered.
I don’t know any other Company who does this.
I would definitely use you again.
