When we receive a bouquet of flowers, we want it to please the eye for as long as possible. Unfortunately, without proper care, cut flowers quickly wilt. In this article, we will share useful tips that will help keep your bouquet fresh for a long time.

Preparation
 

The first step to a long life for flowers is proper preparation.

• Processing the stems: After bringing the flowers home, cut the stems at a 45-degree angle. This will increase the water absorption area and help the flowers stay fresh longer.
• Removing lower leaves: Remove all leaves that may end up in the water. Leaves in the water will start to rot and spoil it, which will accelerate the wilting of the flowers.
   

Water and Vase
 

The cleanliness of the water and vase plays a key role in prolonging the life of the flowers.

• Using clean water: Fill the vase with clean, cool water. Add a special flower powder if it comes with the bouquet.
• Regular water change: Change the water every two days, thoroughly washing the vase. This will prevent the development of bacteria that can harm the flowers.
   

Placement
 

Choosing the right place for the bouquet is also important for its longevity.

• Avoid direct sunlight and drafts: Direct sunlight and drafts can cause the flowers to wilt quickly. It is best to place the bouquet in a cool, shaded place.
• Keep flowers away from fruits: Fruits emit ethylene, a gas that accelerates the ripening and wilting of flowers. Keep flowers and fruits separate.
   

Additional Care
 

A little extra care will help keep the flowers fresh for an even longer period.

• Special products for prolonging the life of flowers: There are special products that can be added to the water to prolong the life of the flowers. They contain nutrients and antiseptics that help keep the flowers fresh.
• Regular stem trimming: Every few days, trim the stems to refresh the cut and improve water absorption.
   

Conclusion
 

By following these simple rules, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of cut flowers for longer. Proper preparation, clean water, the right placement, and a little extra care – all these will help your flowers stay fresh and please the eye for many days. May your home always be filled with the beauty and fragrance of live flowers!
