How to Take Care of Fresh Cut Flowers

First, remove the flowers from the packaging, hold the stems underwater, and cut the stem at a 45-degree angle using a sharp knife. Cutting the flower stem at this angle allows the stem to have a greater surface area for water consumption.

Next, prepare the vase and the water. If your florist does not include preservatives with the flower delivery, fill the vase with lukewarm water and add a floral preservative. Take note that using homemade concoctions might not be as effective as professional cut flower food because they don’t contain the complex mixture of preservatives and nutrients flowers need to survive.

Before putting the flowers in the vase, remove all the leaves that might be submerged in the water. Leaves have the tendency to decay when submerged underwater and when these leaves rot, they poison the water and shorten the vase life of your flowers.  The lower the temperature of the room they are placed in, the longer the flowers will last.   However, if the flowers are subjected to temperatures below four degrees, their internal cells can get easily damaged and dry out the flowers.  Finally, take care of your flowers every day and remove wilted flowers so they do not contaminate the rest. You can also re-cut the stem for improved water absorption.

Fresh Cut Flowers

Fresh cut flowers are those commonly found at your nearest florist. As beautiful as fresh cut flowers are, it is quite unfortunate they do not last long. However, there are ways we can ensure that the flowers that we purchase lasts longer. The obvious tip is to choose the freshest flower. The following are some tips on how to prolong the life of the cut flowers.

The vase or container that you choose to place your flowers has to be clean and filled with cool or lukewarm water. Cut of the leaves from the stems from below the water line of your container and cut of one or two inches of the bottom stem to allow the flowers to absorb water easily. Flowers last longer in cool / cold atmosphere therefore do not leave the flowers overnight in warm rooms and do not place them near heat or heat generating appliances. Flowers in water tend to generate slime caused by bacteria. ? Re-cut the bottom stems every few days to allow better water absorption and fill your vase or container with fresh water everyday.
