Tips To Make Your Bouquets Last

by Claire Silva

Flowers are one of the meaningful gifts and liveliest decorations for nearly any occasion, all year ’round. Places such as offices and homes are more comfortable and lively when flowers decorate the place. What makes these gifts of nature so great is that they look and smell fantastic. They have unique shapes, bright colors, and they have the most wonderful smells only nature can give.

The only problem is that flowers tend to wilt prematurely if you don’t take care of them well. Not everyone are florists and gardeners, but here are some surefire ways to make bouquets you receive last a little longer:

- If you receive flowers that are in a box, act as fast as you can. Drench them in water, or preferably in floral foam or flower food solution. These can be provided by your florist.

- Remember to always use a clean vase with ample space, and use clear water every day. Once the flower food solution or water becomes cloudy, replace it all immediately.

- No flower food or flower foam? You can make your own! Just add a teaspoon of bleach, a tablespoon of sugar, and a gallon of water. Viola! Your homemade 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 bacteria growth in the water, while the sugar will feed the plant.

- Re-cut stems using a cutting tool that will not crush the stems like a sharp knife, pruning shears, or even a good pair of scissors. Cut the stems underwater to allow more water absorption instead of air. A 45-degree angle stem cut can also improve the plants’ liquid absorption.

- Some flowers will last longer than others in the bouquet. Once they wilt, take them from the arrangement.

- Remove any leaves that go below the vase’s waterline, to lessen bacteria growth in the water.

- Keep flowers in a cool, dry spot, in approximately 65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit. It is recommended to keep them away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators, to avoid premature dehydration and wilting.
