Long lasting flowers is more art than science. Here is 6 of secret tips from our expert floral designers at Fig & Bloom:
Follow these instructions to help your flowers stay fresher for longer!
-
Ensure your vase is clean on the inside
Wash it, as you would the dishes. Use hot soapy water, then rinse thoroughly.
-
Pour some bleach in the bottom of the vase
A single tablespoon of bleach in the bottom will do the trick. This cleans the water and the stems. Long lasting flowers are clean flowers!
-
Fill the vase with cold water
Pop some ice cubes in the vase if they’re available.
-
Cut the bottom of the stems on an angle.
his ensures that the stem can drink the water, like a straw. Long lasting flowers aren’t left thirsty!
-
Keep the vase away from direct sunlight.
The heat will cause the flowers to wilt and will accelerate aging.
-
Change the water regularly
Change the water every 5-6 days, trim the stems and add bleach each time
Voila! Your flowers will last much longer 🙂
