5 Flower Tips for January: How to Make the Most of Your Winter Bouquets

January may not be a traditional month for flowers, but that’s exactly why it’s one of the best times to bring a bouquet into your home. The air is crisp, colors appear brighter, and flowers instantly bring life to your interior. With these 5 practical tips, you can enjoy your flowers longer and truly make the most of them.

1. Choose flowers that can withstand winter

Not every flower thrives in cold temperatures or fluctuating January conditions. It’s best to pick varieties that are naturally hardy and long-lasting. Think of:

• Tulips

• Ranunculus

• Anemones

• Chrysanthemums

• Alstroemeria

• Lilies

• Lisianthus

• Hypericum

These flowers are not only robust—they also add structure, color, and atmosphere to your bouquet. Our studio uses them fresh every day, so your bouquet is top quality and lasts longer at home.

Tip: Discover our winter bouquets and surprise yourself or someone else with a bouquet that truly lasts.

2. Let your bouquet “acclimate” to your home

Flowers coming from outdoors can experience a temperature shock. Avoid placing them immediately near a radiator or fireplace. Let your bouquet rest in a cooler spot for a few hours so it can adjust slowly. This noticeably extends its lifespan.

3. Trim the stems—even if they were just delivered

A common mistake is placing flowers in a vase without trimming them. Always cut 2–3 cm off the stems at an angle with a sharp knife or pruning scissors. This allows the flowers to absorb water better and stay fresh longer.

4. Use flowers to refresh your interior

In January, many people rearrange their homes: Christmas decorations come down, and there’s more space. A bouquet is the fastest way to bring life back to your living room, kitchen, or home office.

Tip:

• Place one large bouquet as a focal point

• Or divide a bouquet into several small vases for a subtle, stylish effect

This way, you get the most out of a single order.

5. Flowers make the perfect “unexpected gift”

After the holidays, no one expects gifts—and that’s what makes flowers in January so special. A bouquet for a birthday, a thank-you, or simply “just because” feels extra personal this month.

At Firenze Flower Studio, we’re always happy to include a personalized card so your message is as beautiful as the bouquet itself.
