Upon receiving your flowers, follow these steps to ensure they stay fresh and vibrant:
-
Prepare a Clean Vase: If a vase didn't come with the flowers, choose one and ensure its thoroughly cleaned, as bacteria can promote wilting of the flowers.
-
Lukewarm Water: Fill the vase with lukewarm water, covering just over half of its length.
-
Cut Stems at an Angle: Before placing the flowers in the vase, cut 2-3 cms from the stems at a 45-degree angle. This allows for better water absorption.
-
Choose a Cool Spot: Keep the flowers in a cool place, as the lukewarm water aids stem hydration, and cool air helps maintain freshness.
-
Regular Water Change: Change the water every other day to extend the flowers' lifespan.
-
Avoid Direct Sunlight and Ethylene: Protect the flowers from direct sunlight, wind, and ethylene-producing fruits like apples, as this gas accelerates wilting.
-
Enjoy the Blooms: With proper care, your flowers will blossom beautifully, offering a longer-lasting display of nature's beauty.
