A mixed arrangement in floral foam, Royal Ovation in Box lasts 5 to 7 days with care. Stems with hydrangea and softer blooms will often go first; roses and firmer varieties last longer.

Water the foam every two days with a gentle pour around the edges. Press the foam surface before watering — skip if it still feels damp.

A cool interior position is essential. Direct sun, heat vents, and air conditioning all reduce the lifespan of fresh mixed arrangements.

Stems are set in foam and should not be cut or repositioned. Focus on moisture and environment rather than stem management.

As softer blooms fade, remove them individually. The sturdier stems will carry the arrangement further.
