What Do I Need to Take Care Of My Cut Flowers?
To take care of flowers at home, you will need a sharp pair of scissors or knife, flower food, room-temperature water, and a complimentary vase. Once you have these essential tools, you’re set to begin the benevolent journey to maintain a wilt-free, long-lasting flower arrangement.
How To Take Care Of Flowers In A Vase?
Pamper your flowers with hydration and nutrition to accentuate their exuberance and elongate their lifespan.
Step 1 Hydration: Imbue your flowers with a natural glow by replacing the water in the vase every 2-3 days (for most flowers).- Ensure you clean the vase thoroughly with soap and purified water between water changes to eradicate harmful bacteria, which will result in your flowers drooping much too soon.
- Trim off 2 to 3 cm of the stems at a 45 degree-angle, to support absorption.
- Use distilled room temperature water for optimal refreshment and rejuvenation.
- Steer clear of any and all heat sources (including direct sunlight) because it will dehydrate your flower. Avoid placing them in cold environments since this will result in dehydration. Preferably place your flower arrangement in a room temperature-controlled space to achieve optimum longevity.
- Apply the correct nutrition regime. Add flower food to the vase of fresh water. Think of flower food as an elixir with all the best nutrients and bacteria inhibitors to increase your flowers health & immunity. We are proud to offer complimentary flower food with every flower arrangement purchased from Garden Ville. Use instructions on the flower food packaging, or read here to administer the correct portions. Followingly, you may place the cut flower arrangement back in the vase. Voila! Beautiful
- Did you know that leaves decay quicker in wet conditions? So trim all the excess foliage that falls below the waterline to reduce the spreading of bacteria.
- Remove wilting flowers to improve the livelihood and longevity of your arrangement. After all, a team is only as strong as its weakest link.
- Avoid placing your vase of flowers near ripening fruits. Ripening fruits expel ethylene, a type of gas that is harmful to the longevity of your flower arrangement.
Just like that! Your flowers have adopted an enviable lifestyle defined by hydration, nutrition and rejuvenation. Health truly is wealth. Finally, you enjoy your flattering flower arrangements from Garden Ville for much longer! There is simply no reason for you to hesitate.
