Fresh Flower Care Guide: Keeping Your Blooms Beautiful
Here are some simple tips to ensure your cut flowers stay vibrant and fresh for as long as possible:
- Hydration is Key: Replenish the water frequently throughout the day, especially during hot weather.
- Fresh Water Matters: Change the water entirely every 2-3 days. This removes bacteria buildup that can shorten your flowers' lifespan.
- Stem Trimming: Before placing your flowers in the vase, and again with each water change, trim at least half an inch off the stems diagonally. This helps them absorb water more efficiently.
- Location, Location, Location: Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight and heat sources like radiators or vents. This can cause wilting and shorten their lifespan.
- Ethylene Eaters: Avoid placing your flowers near ripening fruits or vegetables, especially bananas and apples. These fruits release ethylene gas, which can accelerate flower decay.
By following these simple tips, you can enjoy your beautiful blooms for up to 7 days! Remember, the color of flowers may vary depending on the season.
