Received a beautiful bouquet?
Here are some handy tips to ensure they stay fresh and vibrant for as long as possible!
Trim the Stems:
Start by cutting the flower stems at a 45-degree angle, removing 2-4 cm. This angled cut allows for optimal water absorption, keeping your flowers hydrated. Remember to re-trim the stems every few days to maintain freshness.
Watering:
Place your flowers in a clean vase filled with room temperature water. If available, add flower food to the water and mix it thoroughly. Remember to change the water and add fresh flower food every two to three days to keep your blooms nourished.
Optimal Environment:
Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts, as these can cause them to wilt prematurely. Avoid placing them near ripening fruits, as the ethylene gas emitted can shorten the lifespan of your bouquet.
By following these simple steps, you can extend the beauty and lifespan of your floral arrangement.
