How to keep flowers fresh for longer
Here is some key and simple guidance from Waitrose Florist, to help your new blooms last as long as possible:
-
Clean your vase thoroughly. Any lingering bacteria will make your flowers wilt faster.
-
Fill the vase two-thirds with fresh, lukewarm water and add your flower food. Top up the water the day after receiving your flowers, rather than changing it completely – this way, they benefit from the food for longer.
-
Remove any foliage that will sit below the waterline to avoid a build-up of debris. If your flowers include roses, you may notice some discoloured outer petals. These are guard petals, which protect the inner petals. Gently remove 2-3 guard petals to reveal these.
-
Chris Wood, Partner & Head Florist, says: "To keep your flowers blooming beautifully, make sure you trim the stems and refresh their water every few days. This will help extend their vase life." Trim about 2-3cm from the bottom of the stems at a 45-degree angle. This stops the stems from resting on the bottom of the vase and increases their surface area, allowing for better water uptake. Change the water regularly after the second day, topping up the water every other day, and make sure to change it immediately if you notice the water has turned cloudy.
-
Keep your flowers out of direct sunlight to prolong their life.
-
Remove any dead or wilting stems from the arrangement to reduce the spread of mould.
