Make Your Bouquets Last
Flowers are one of the meaningful gifts and liveliest decorations for nearly any occasion, all year ’round. Even offices and homes use them for decorations to make the place livelier and less plain. These gifts of nature smell and look fantastic, which makes them so great. They have unique shapes, bright colours, and they have the most wonderful scents only nature can give.
The downside? Fresh flowers don’t stay fresh for long especially if you don’t take care of them properly. Not everyone are florists and gardeners, but here are some surefire tips that could make floral arrangements you receive last a little longer:
- If possible, use floral foam or flower food in your vases instead of just water. These can be purchased from and/or provided by your florist.
- If the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it all. Same goes for those who are using only water; replacing it daily with fresh water is a must.
- If floral foam is unavailable, you can make your own makeshift flower freshener. 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 soda’s acidity will slow down growth of bacteria in the water, while the sugar will “feed” the plant.
- Re-cut stems using a cutting tool that will not crush the stems. A sharp knife, pruning shears, or even a good pair of scissors can do. 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.
- Some flowers actually last longer than others in the arrangement. Once they wilt, take them out of the arrangement.
- Remove any leaves that go below the vase’s waterline, because leaves in water tend to promote bacterial growth.
- 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.
