If you’re like most people, you probably love receiving flowers. Not only are they a beautiful way to show someone you care, but they also make your home or office look nicer. However, one of the drawbacks of flowers is that they don’t last very long. In this blog post, we will share some pro tips for keeping your bouquets looking beautiful longer!
1. Change the water every day. The key to keeping flowers fresh is keeping their water supply clean and plentiful. Discard any old, smelly water and replace it with fresh, cool water each day.
2. Remove wilted or discolored petals as they occur. This will help keep your bouquet looking neat and tidy and prevent the spread of bacteria that can cause other flowers to wilt faster.
3. Trim stems at a 45-degree angle each time you change the water for maximum absorption of nutrients from the stem into the flower head itself.
4. Add a packet of floral preservative to bouquet water when you first receive them – this will help extend the life of your flowers.
5. Place fresh-cut flower bouquets away from direct sunlight, heat vents or drafts. These elements can cause flowers to wilt prematurely.
6. If you’re not displaying your bouquet in a vase, try placing them in a sealed container with some moistened paper towels at the bottom – this will help keep moisture in and prevent wilting.
7. Keep the environment around your flowers humid by misting them with water or using a room humidifier near the blooms. This will help them retain their shape and vibrancy.
Following these tips will ensure that you get maximum enjoyment out of your beautiful bouquets for as long as possible!
