Certain varieties of cut flowers last longer than others. When buying flowers, be sure
to ask your florist how long you should expect your arrangement to last. Whatever
variety you choose, a little TLC will go a long way to keep your blooms looking fresh
longer. Here are a few tips that can help add days to their beauty!
Essentials for your flowers:
Keep them in a cool spot (65 to 72 degrees), away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, direct drafts, and the tops of televisions or radiators.
When your flowers arrive in wet foam (oasis):
Keep the floral foam soaked in water containing floral food provided by your florist. Be sure to follow the directions on the package.
When your flowers are arranged in water:
Keep the vase filled with water containing floral food provided by your florist. If the water becomes cloudy, replace it entirely. If possible, recut the stems by removing one inch with a sharp knife or scissors, every other day. Remove leaves that will be below the waterline. Leaves in water promote bacterial growth that will harm your flowers.
