Tips To Make Your Bouquets Last
Flowers are one of the meaningful gifts and liveliest decorations for nearly any occasion, all year ’round. Places such as offices and homes are more lively and comfortable when flowers decorate the place. These gifts of nature smell and look fantastic, which makes them so great. They have bright colours, unique shapes, and they have the most wonderful scents only nature can provide.
The downside is that flowers tend to wilt prematurely if you don’t take care of them properly. Not all of us are florists and gardeners, but here are some surefire ways to make bouquets you receive last a little longer:
– If possible, use floral foam or flower food in your vases instead of just water. These can be bought from and/or provided by your florist.
– Remember to always use a clean vase with ample space, and use clear water every day. Once the flower food solution or water becomes cloudy, replace it all right away.
– No flower food or flower foam? Make your own! Just add a teaspoon of bleach, a tablespoon of sugar, and a gallon of water. Mix well and you have flower food. Some gardening experts even say you can pour a 12-ounce can of non-diet Sprite or 7-Up in half a gallon of water The acid in the soda will slow bacteria growth in the water, while the sugar will “feed” the flowers.
– Re-cut your flower stems at a 45-degree angle using a sharp cutting tool, such as a sharp knife, good pair of scissors, or pruning shears. Cut the stems underwater to allow more water absorption instead of air. A 45-degree angle stem cut can also improve liquid absorption of the plants.
– Generally, some flowers last longer than others. Once they wilt, take them out of the arrangement.
– Get rid of any leaves that go under the waterline of the vase, to lessen bacteria growth in the water.
– Remember to place your flower arrangement in a cool, dry spot, away from heat. About 65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit is the recommended temperature for flowers, away from heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, on top of televisions or radiators, and away from direct sunlight. Failing to do so will cause your flowers to dehydrate and make them wilt prematurely.
