Fresh flowers can instantly brighten any space. With the right care, you can enjoy your bouquet for many more days. Here are simple and effective tips to keep your flowers fresh.
Trim the Stems Correctly
Cut about 1–2 cm off the stems at a 45-degree angle before placing them in water. This improves water absorption and prevents the stems from sitting flat at the bottom.
Use Clean Vases and Fresh Water
Always use a clean vase and change the water every two days. Bacteria in dirty water shortens the life of flowers.
Remove Extra Leaves
Leaves below the water level should be removed to avoid decay and bacterial growth.
Keep Flowers in the Right Place
- Avoid direct sunlight
- Keep away from heat sources and fans
- Do not place near fruits (they release ethylene gas that causes flowers to wilt)
Add Flower Food
Flower food provides nutrients and helps control bacteria. If unavailable, a small amount of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice can help.
Enjoy Longer-Lasting Beauty
With proper care, your flowers will stay vibrant and fresh, allowing you to enjoy their beauty for longer.
