Using and Cleaning It
A vase only does its job if it is properly clean, and 'properly' means more than a rinse:
Wash it before the flowers go in.
Hot water and detergent, not a rinse. Bacteria left from the last bouquet is the fastest way to shorten the next one.
Use a brush for the bottom.
A bottle brush or a cloth on a spoon handle. The film that builds up in the base is where the problem lives and it does not shift by swirling water around.
Fill it about two-thirds.
Enough to cover the cut stems well, not so much that leaves sit in the water. Top it up rather than starting full.
Change the water every couple of days.
Tip it out, rinse the vase, refill. This is the single habit that most extends a bouquet, and a clear vase makes it obvious when it is due.
Clean cloudy glass with a soak.
Warm water with a little white vinegar or a denture tablet, left an hour, then brushed. It lifts the film that detergent alone leaves behind.
Dry it upside down.
Water left in the base leaves marks on glass and gives bacteria somewhere to start before the next bouquet arrives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size vase do I need for a bouquet?
As a rough rule, the vase should be about half the height of the flowers standing above it. Too tall and the blooms are swallowed; too short and the arrangement tips forward. The vase dimensions are on the listing.
Does the vase come with flowers?
No. Vases are sold on their own. The same store sells bouquets and arrangements, and adding both to one order is the surest way to have them suit each other.
Should I choose a narrow or a wide neck?
It depends on the bouquet. A narrow neck gathers the stems and holds a tight upright posy; a wide mouth lets a hand-tied bouquet relax open. Neither is better in general — they suit different arrangements.
How do I get a cloudy vase clear again?
Soak it in warm water with a little white vinegar or a denture tablet for an hour, then work the base with a bottle brush. That film is what detergent alone leaves behind, and it is also what shortens the life of the next bouquet.
How full should I fill it?
About two-thirds — enough to cover the cut stems well, but not so high that leaves sit in the water, because submerged leaves rot and cloud the water quickly. Top it up as it drops rather than starting it brimming.
Is it dishwasher safe?
Check the listing. Thin decorative glass often is not, and a hot cycle can leave permanent cloudiness on glass that hand-washes perfectly well.
How much is delivery, and is there a minimum order?
The base delivery fee is $5 NZD, with free delivery on orders above $69 in the Auckland region — the exact amount is confirmed at checkout. There is no minimum order value, and you can combine items from other local stores in the same cart.
