Letโs make these blooms last! ๐
Here are some tips on keeping your flowers at there best for longer-
Change the water ๐ง
Flowers drink a lot of water! It is not uncommon for a large flower arrangement to suck up all the water in a vase within the first day or two. Flowers are also highly susceptible to bacteria that builds up as stems sit in the water. By changing the water in the vase every few days, even if the water hasnโt been used up, will help keep your flowers fresh longer!
Trim the stems ๐น
Trim at least a half inch of stem off your flowers before you put them in a vase and each time you change the water.
Keep your flowers away from heat and bright light โ๏ธ
Sometimes people think they should set their vase of flowers in a sunny windowsill since that is where a plant would be happiest. However, Sun and heat will encourage them to โmatureโ and thus quicken their demise. Instead, keep your cut flowers in a cool dark spot if you would like them to last as long as possible.
Avoid sitting your flowers beside ripening fruit or vegetables, especially bananas and apples ๐๐
Ripening fruit gives off an odorless invisible gas called ethylene. This gas is harmless to humans, but rather deadly to flowers.
