Part of the beauty of fresh flower arrangements is that they don’t last forever. However, you can increase the blooms’ longevity with the tips shared by our florist in Charlottesville VA. Wash Your Vase

  2. Your vase may have been sitting in the cupboard collecting dust. You need to ensure that there are no bacteria are present in the vase when you place the flowers. So, carefully wash the vase with hot water and allow themit dry naturally rather than wiping it with a cloth. Fill the Vase with Flower Food Solution Tap water is fine for fresh flowers, but be sure to mix the flower food in the water according to directions. If the stems of the blooms are woody, fill the vase up to around 2/3rd full with water. For softer stems, fill the vase under half way with water. Once you fill the water, leave the vase for a while to reach room temperature and to allow some air bubbles to escape. Prepare the Flowers One of the common mistakes people make when arranging fresh flowers in the vase is not cutting the stems. You must trim the stem by one or two inches off and on an angle for better water intake as they won’t sit flat on the bottom of the vase. In addition to trimming the stem, remove any leaves below the water line. It will not only make the arrangement beautiful but also prevent bacterial growth. After the initial cut, ensure to re-trim the stemsevery few days. Place Straight Into the Water Arrange the flowers loosely in your hands so you know how they will look in the vase. Then cut the stems and place them immediately into the vase. The cut stems may suck up air if they’re left out of water, . So, don’t delay to arrange the flowers in the vase. Choose the Right Location Keep the vase away from direct sunlight and heat sources. So, choose the right place that is airy and cool.

  3. Check Regularly Do not neglect the flowers for more than 3 days. Ensure to check the quality of the water and vase. Remove floating foliage and other dirt and change the water if it is not clear. Try these tips the next time when you receive flowers. Do you want to send flowers to your friend or family?
