Choose Fresh Flowers The first step in keeping your flowers looking fresh is to start with fresh flowers. When selecting flowers, choose those that are in bud form or have just begun to open. Avoid flowers that are fully open or have already begun to wilt. It’s also important to inspect the stems of the flowers. Choose stems that are firm and green, and avoid those that are mushy or discolored.
Cut the Stems Before placing your flowers in water, it’s important to cut the stems. Use a sharp pair of scissors or garden shears to make a diagonal cut about an inch from the bottom of each stem. This will help the flowers absorb water more easily.
Remove Leaves Below the Water Line Leaves that are submerged in water can quickly rot and become a breeding ground for bacteria. To prevent this, remove any leaves that will be below the water line in your vase. This will also help to keep the water in your vase cleaner and clearer.
Use Clean Water Clean water is essential for keeping your flowers fresh. Fill a clean vase with fresh, cool water and add flower food if it was provided by the florist. Flower food contains essential nutrients that help to nourish your flowers and extend their life.
Change the Water and Re-cut the Stems To keep your flowers looking fresh, it’s important to change the water in your vase every two to three days. Before adding fresh water, re-cut the stems at a diagonal angle. This will help to ensure that the flowers can absorb water more easily.
In conclusion, by following these tips, you can extend the life of your flowers and keep them looking fresh and vibrant for as long as possible. Remember to start with fresh flowers, cut the stems, remove leaves below the water line, use clean water, change the water and re-cut the stems every few days, keep them cool, mist them, and choose the right vase. With a little bit of care and attention, you can enjoy the beauty of your flowers for days to come.
