10 Tips on Taking care of Fresh Cut Flowers

Flowers are beautiful and tender gift that shows our romantic feelings. Who wouldn’t like to receive them as a gift? A gift, which will spread magnificent aroma and remind you of someone who really cares about you. Women just can’t stay indifferent to flowers’ charm.

But what a pity it is when you cannot keep a splendid gift form your beloved one for a long time. The time comes, when a person has to throw it away. Imagine how it feels when you have to throw away the gift from somebody you love? But there is a solution that will help you to keep a wonderful beauty of flowers with you as long as possible.

I would like to share with you 10 tips on how to keep your fresh cut flowers as gorgeous and fresh as they looked the day you received them for a present.

1. First important thing is to remove the wrapping from the bouquet if there is one. Set the flowers free so that they could blossom. Tight wrapping cause them to rotten faster.

2. Step number two – you should change water every day. Fresh and clean water will provide better nourishment for flowers that will make them blossom in a really beautiful way. Also it helps them to last longer as well.

3. To prolong flowers’ life you may cut a stem for up to 3 centimeters. It will improve the water absorption and that will let flowers get all the necessary components they need.

4. The temperature in the room is important for flowers as well. High temperatures make flowers wither much faster. The perfect conditions for them would be 65-72F. You should also keep them away from any appliances that illuminate heat while turned on.

5. If you received roses for a gift and want to enjoy their beautiful look for a long time you shouldn’t under any circumstances remove their thorns. Thorns are essential for roses’ beauty and removing them will cause flowers to deteriorate faster.

6. It has been established that fruits release ethylene gas, which is harmful to flowers. So if you really enjoy the sight of fresh flowers, don’t keep your bowl of fruits and your bouquets in the same room.

7. If you have a bouquet made of different flowers and daffodils are among them, you should remove them from the rest of the bouquet. Daffodils need their own vase as their stems release the substance that is toxic for other flowers.

8. If you want flower-buds to stay glorious and fresh like in the garden, spray them with mild mist every day. They need moisture as well as the stem.

9. To make flowers last the longest you should put some preservatives or flower food which can be purchased at any local store. In case if you are adding preservatives do not use a metal vase as metal reduces the effect of the flower food.

10. And the last, but not the least – take care of you flowers every day. Remove the rotting leaves and re-cut the stem for better water absorption.

By following these 10 steps you will have flowers’ glory decorating your room for a long time – up to two weeks!
