How to Keep Your Flower Bouquet Fresh For Longer?
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.
Henry Beecher, Life Thoughts, 1858
So very true! Receiving a beautiful flower bouquet can surely brighten up your day. The sad thing is that
flo e ou uets do ’t last very long but we can surely keep them fresh for longer by following a few
simple steps.
Step 1
Trim the stem
Before you arrange the bouquet in the vase make sure you trim half inch off the flower stem diagonally.
This helps to get rid of any dead tissues and expose fresh new tissues which can suck water much more
efficiently. You must repeat this each time you change the water in the vase. Remove leaves, flowers, or
branches which would fall below the water line. Having these in the water encourages bacteria growth.
Step 2
Wash the vase
Ea h ti e you ha ge ate , ash the ase ith soapy ate . Doi g this helps to e o e a te ia’s which get stuck to the vase and reduce the life for your flowers.
Step 3
Regularly change vase water
Change vase water every 2-3 days. By doing this you are giving fresh clean water and a bacteria free
environment to your flowers. Big flower bouquets can absorb water within a day. So keep checking the
water levels regularly to keep the flowers from drying up.
Step 4
Keep flowers away from direct heat
Keep your flowers away from heat and sunshine. Cut flowers are at their peak of maturity and may
mature faster if you keep them in sunshine. Choose a dark spot for your flower bouquet to make them
last longer.
