Singapore’s warm and humid climate may be ideal for tropical plants, but it poses a challenge for fresh cut flowers. Without proper care, blooms can wilt quickly — especially those not suited to the heat.
At Fiore Arte, we carefully select flowers that perform well in our tropical environment, ensuring your bouquets remain fresh and elegant for as long as possible. Whether you're decorating a home, sending a gift, or planning a weekly flower delivery, here are five long-lasting flowers perfect for Singapore’s weather.
1. Orchids
Best for: Sophisticated, long-lasting arrangements
Orchids are native to tropical climates, which makes them a perfect choice for Singapore. They thrive in humidity, hold their shape well, and can last up to two weeks with minimal care.
Popular varieties: Phalaenopsis (moth orchids), dendrobium, vanda
Care tip: Keep them in bright, indirect light and mist lightly every few days.
2. Chrysanthemums
Best for: Versatile use across sympathy, celebration, and casual arrangements
Chrysanthemums are hardy flowers known for their strong stems and slow wilting. They last well in both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned spaces.
Bonus: Available in many styles (pompom, spider, daisy) and colours — from soft whites to vibrant purples and bronze.
Care tip: Remove wilting petals promptly and change water every 2–3 days.
3. Carnations
Best for: Mother’s Day bouquets, long-lasting table arrangements
Carnations are among the longest-lasting cut flowers globally, often staying fresh for up to two weeks. They handle temperature changes better than many other blooms.
Colour tip: Choose soft pink or peach for elegance; deep red or coral for boldness.
Care tip: Trim stems slightly every few days to keep water absorption optimal.
4. Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lily)
Best for: Budget-friendly, colourful bouquets
Alstroemeria is not only affordable and beautiful, but also extremely durable in tropical weather. Its multiple small blooms per stem offer fullness and texture to any arrangement.
Visual appeal: Often used as a filler flower in premium arrangements.
Care tip: Keep in cool areas; blooms can last up to 10 days or more.
5. Anthuriums
Best for: Modern tropical arrangements, corporate settings, minimalist homes
Anthuriums are waxy, sculptural flowers that love humidity. Their thick petals and strong stems allow them to stay fresh even without water for short periods, making them ideal for hot indoor spaces.
Design edge: Bold, contemporary look that pairs well with orchids or monstera foliage.
Care tip: Avoid direct sun and wipe leaves gently to prevent dust buildup.
Bonus: Honourable Mentions
- Eustoma (Lisianthus): Delicate appearance but surprisingly long-lasting
- Gerberas: Popular for cheerfulness and bold colours; lasts longer with proper stem support
- Bird of Paradise: Exotic, structured bloom that tolerates heat well
