Before arranging your freshly bought flowers, here are the most important florist tips:
- Remove leaves from stems if they will be submerged in water – leaves left in water rot quickly.
- Cut stems diagonally – this improves water intake.
- Use a clean vase with tepid water – change the water daily and trim the stems. Always trim the ends to prevent them from drying out.
- Place the flowers or foliage in a cool, dark place for 2–8 hours before arranging.
- Extra tip: to keep flowers fresh longer, add a drop of bleach to the water (not the first one!) and keep them away from fresh fruit. 🍎
🌸 Note: Every plant needs slightly different care! Many flowers and foliage follow standard conditioning methods, but some require extra attention.Which flowers do you treat differently?
