How to keep flowers fresh...

fresh flowers how to keep flowers fresh



Flowers must be cut early in the morning and stored in warm water

They must be stored at room temperature before arranging

Sharp knife must be used to cut stems at an angle under running water

Stems must be kept clear of foliage and debris so that they can draw up water

Rotting leaves in the water contaminate it and must be cleared

Containers must be placed in a cool spot away from direct sunlight that dries out and wilts the blooms

Water must be changed every other day

Flower stems submerged in a solution of liquid glycerine last long

Sugar cubes may be added to the water to keep flowers fresh
