Tip #1: Trim the Stems
Before placing your flowers in water, trim the stems about 1-2 inches at a 45-degree angle. This allows them to absorb water more efficiently and keeps the air from blocking the stem’s moisture intake.

Tip #2: Remove Leaves from Water
Make sure to remove any leaves that are submerged in the water. This helps prevent bacteria and fungi from forming, which can cause your flowers to wilt faster.

Tip #3: Change the Water Regularly
For flowers to last as long as possible, be sure to change the water every 2 days. Fresh water will keep your blooms hydrated and bacteria-free.

Tip #4: Keep Them Cool
Place your flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts. Heat can cause them to wilt quicker, so keeping them cool helps them last longer.

Tip #5: Use Flower Food
If you have flower food, mix it into the water as directed. It provides your flowers with nutrients to help them stay vibrant for longer.

Tip #6: Keep Flowers Away from Fruit
Try not to place your flowers near ripening fruit. The gases released by fruit can speed up the wilting process, causing your flowers to fade faster.
