How to Make Your Fresh Flowers Last Longer

There’s nothing better than receiving a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers! But without proper care, they can wilt quickly. Follow these simple steps to keep your floral arrangements looking vibrant for as long as possible.

1. Trim the Stems
   Cut stems at a 45-degree angle before placing them in water. This allows better water absorption and prevents air bubbles from blocking hydration.

2. Use the Right Water & Food

• Change the water every two days

• Add a small amount of sugar or a commercial flower food packet to nourish the blooms

• Avoid using soft water (high salt levels can dehydrate flowers)

3. Keep Flowers Cool & Away from Direct Sunlight
   Heat and direct sunlight speed up the wilting process. Keep arrangements in a cool place away from radiators, windows, and fruit (which releases ethylene gas that accelerates aging).

4. Remove Wilting Flowers
   As flowers begin to wilt, remove them from the arrangement to prevent bacteria from spreading to healthy blooms.

With these tips, your flowers will stay fresh and beautiful for much longer!
