Care Tips For Lasting Flowers
1. Snip the stems
Use sharp, clean kitchen snips or pruning shears to cut flower stem ends at an angle before giving them a fresh drink of water.
Trim about 1-2 inches every few days for optimal hydration with fresh, clean water.
2. Remove lower leaves
Before placing cut stems in clean water and vessels, be sure to remove any leaves or foliage that fall below the water line.
This helps prevent bacterial growth in water and keeps flowers looking vibrant.
3. Flower food and water
Fill a clean vase with room temperature water and flower food (read instructions), or try 2 tablespoons each of apple cider vinegar and sugar mixed into the water.
Replace with fresh water and flower food every 2-3 days in a clean vase.
