Though there can be no fixed rule at home but replacing is not needed at home if the flowers are fresh. Some of them, like orchids, last really long. 🪻

Home » Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri » Dear Alok da, I offer flowers to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother every day. Some days the flowers look still fresh, though not completely fresh, they are still not withered, and I don’t feel like throwing and replacing them because they are a day old. Is it ok to leave them as such, or is it better to replace fresh ones every day with the offering attitude? 💐😊🙏🏻✨

Arpan means to give, samarpan means to give completely without reserve.
To give means now one has left the situation, the difficulty, the problem entirely in the hands of the Divine. It means that one now obeys the Divine Will alone and lives no more for the satisfaction of one’s ego and desires….

Here is the complete Durga Stotra. You can see for yourself.
‘Hymn to Durga
(দুর্গা-স্তোত্র)
*
Mother Durga! Rider on the lion, giver of all strength, Mother, beloved of Siva! We born from thy parts of Power, we the youth of India, are seated here in thy temple. Listen, O Mother, descend upon earth, make thyself manifest in this land of India.

Yes, these are dreams surging from the subconscient. Some, like the one about your friend seems a veiled wish fulfilment. Certain desires get exhausted subjectively in this way.
