Trim Stems: Use a clean, sharp pair of scissors to cut stems diagonally at a 45-degree angle. Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline to avoid bacterial growth.
Clean Vase and Fresh Water: Place your flowers in a clean vase filled with fresh water. Add flower food if available, and stir until it’s fully dissolved to help blooms last longer.
Change Water Regularly: Refresh the water every 2 to 3 days, and remove any fallen leaves or petals to keep the water clean.
Avoid Direct Heat and Sunlight: Keep flowers in a cool area, away from direct sunlight, heat-emitting devices, and ripening fruits, as they can shorten flower life.
Humidity and Ventilation: Good air circulation helps flowers stay fresh longer. Avoid placing flowers near fans or air conditioning vents, as extreme airflow can dehydrate them.
