What type of water should I use in a compote flower arrangement?

When building your floral arrangement with a vase, you should fill the container with about two-thirds of a cup of lukewarm filtered water. Avoid extremely hot or cold water, as either one can shock more delicate flowers and cause them to wilt. We recommend filling vases in advance and letting them sit, so they reach room temperature and release any extra air bubbles.
