Remove the packaging from the bouquet. In the packaging, the plant stems will spread faster, which leads to the death of the flower.
Trim the flowers and change the water in the vase daily! This allows the flowers to get enough water and nutrients. This is the easiest way to extend the life of cut flowers! You can cut the stem by about 1 cm.
If you are given a flower arrangement in an oasis (floral sponge), do not change flowers in places, this not only disrupts the composition, but also leads to rapid wilting of plants due to the formation of voids around the stem, where unwanted air bubbles enter. It is necessary to add a certain amount of water to the sponge every day, commensurate with its size, so that the oasis is always wet.
For flowers on a long stem, choose a high vase, so that the load on the stems is minimal.
Leaves contaminate the water in the vase. Free the stems from leaves and leave them above the water level before placing the flowers in the vase with water.
Trim the flowers better under a stream of water, so that air bubbles do not get into the vessels of the stem.
Protect the flowers from direct sunlight! Do not leave cut flowers in a draft! And also try not to expose flowers to large temperature changes. By following these tips, flowers will please you much longer!
