How to Keep Flowers Fresh Longer? 10 Essential Tips 🌿✨

There’s nothing more beautiful than a fresh bouquet brightening up your home. But how do you make sure your flowers stay beautiful for as long as possible? With these 10 handy tips, you can enjoy your luxury bouquets even longer!

1. Cut the Stems at an Angle ✂️

Before placing the flowers in a vase, cut the stems diagonally with a sharp knife. This helps the flowers absorb water better and prevents the stems from getting blocked.

2. Use a Clean Vase 🫧

Bacteria in a dirty vase can cause your flowers to wilt faster. Rinse the vase thoroughly with warm water and a bit of vinegar or dish soap.

3. Add Flower Food 🌸

Many luxury bouquets come with flower food. This helps keep your flowers fresh longer by adding nutrients and antibacterial agents to the water.

4. Change the Water Regularly 💧

Change the water every two days to reduce bacterial growth. Make sure the stems are always submerged enough.

5. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Drafts ☀️💨

Don’t place your flowers in direct sunlight or near heat sources like radiators. Drafts can also dry out the flowers faster.

6. Remove Wilted Flowers Promptly ❌

One wilted flower can release ethylene gas, causing the rest of the bouquet to age faster. Remove any wilted flowers immediately.

7. Use Lukewarm Water Instead of Cold Water 🌡️

Flowers absorb lukewarm water better than cold water. Fill the vase with room-temperature water for the best results.

8. Keep Flowers Away from Fruit 🍏

Fruit produces ethylene gas, which can make flowers wilt faster. Keep your flowers away from fruit bowls.

9. Soak Roses in Water if They Wilt 🌊

Are your roses drooping? Place them in a container with lukewarm water for a few hours. This helps the flowers absorb moisture and become firm again.

10. Choose Longlife Flowers 💎

Want to truly enjoy luxury flowers for a long time? Consider longlife roses that stay beautiful for months or even years without water or maintenance!
