Flower Care Tips
Key points for cut flower care:
- Clean vase: Always use a clean vase to prevent bacteria growth.
- Trim stems: Before placing in the vase, cut the stems at a diagonal angle to maximize water uptake.
- Remove leaves: Take off any leaves that would fall below the waterline as they can decay and contaminate the water.
- Flower food: Use flower food packets if provided with the bouquet to nourish the flowers and inhibit bacteria growth.
- Water changes: Regularly change the water in the vase to keep it fresh and prevent bacterial buildup.
- Cool location: Place flowers in a cool area away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Remove wilted flowers: Regularly remove any flowers that are starting to wilt to maintain the overall appearance of the arrangement.
- Put flowers near fresh fruit as it releases ethylene gas which can shorten their lifespan.
- Use tap water with high mineral content
- Place flowers in a draft
- Spray flowers directly with water as it can promote fungal growth
