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

There is nothing as beautiful as a fresh bouquet of flowers that brightens up your home. But how do you ensure that your flowers stay beautiful for as long as possible? With these 10 handy tips, you can enjoy your luxury bouquets for an extra long time!

1. Cut the stems diagonally ✂️

Before you put the flowers in a vase, cut the stems diagonally with a sharp knife. This helps the flowers to absorb water better and prevents the stems from clogging.

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 little vinegar or dishwashing liquid.

3. Add flower food 🌸

Many luxury bouquets come with flower food. This helps keep your flowers fresher for 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 sufficiently submerged.

5. Avoid direct sunlight and drafts ☀️💨

Do not place your flowers in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as a heater. Draughts can also cause the flowers to dry out faster.

6. Remove wilted flowers in time ❌

One wilted flower can release ethylene gas, which will cause the rest of the bouquet to age more quickly. Therefore, remove 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 best results.

8. Don't place flowers next to fruit 🍏

Fruit produces ethylene gas, which can cause flowers to wilt faster. Keep your flowers away from fruit baskets.

9. Soak roses in water when they are dry 🌊

Have your roses become limp? Place them in a bowl of lukewarm water for a few hours. This helps the flowers to absorb moisture and become firm again.

10. Choose long-life flowers 💎

Do you really want to enjoy luxury flowers for a long time? Consider longlife roses that stay beautiful for months to years without water or care!
