🌿 Ultimate Guide to Cut Flower Care
To extend the life of cut flowers:
✅ Use clean water & change it every 2-3 days – Dirty water breeds bacteria.
✅ Trim stems at a 45-degree angle – This maximizes water absorption.
✅ Remove leaves below the waterline – Prevents bacterial growth.
✅ Keep flowers in a cool place overnight – Slows aging and wilting.
✅ Use a professional flower solution – Flower Boosters can help flowers last up to 20 days!
💡 Pro Tip: The free packets from florists typically extend flowers 4-6 days. Flower Boosters provides hydration, nutrients, and bacterial defense for 3X longer vase life.
Sugar can provide short-term hydration, but without antibacterial agents, it feeds bacteria and shortens lifespan. A balanced flower solution works better.
These DIY methods provide partial benefits, but they lack the full hydration + nutrients + bacteria control that professional solutions like Flower Boosters provide.
🌹 Rose-Specific Care
Roses often suffer from air bubbles blocking water uptake. Fix this by:
✔️ Re-cutting stems underwater at a 45-degree angle to remove air pockets.
✔️ Using warm (not hot) water for better absorption.
✔️ Removing excess leaves to reduce moisture loss.

🌿 Natural vs. Commercial Flower Solutions
Homemade solutions (sugar, lemon juice, vinegar) provide partial benefits but lack the proper hydration, nutrients, and bacterial resistance needed for long-lasting flowers.
⚠️ What You Need to Know:
- DIY solutions may keep flowers alive for a few extra days but often cause premature wilting due to bacterial buildup.
- Flower Boosters is scientifically formulated to keep flowers alive and vibrant for up to 3X longer—without toxic chemicals.
- Unlike other brands, we offer full ingredient transparency, and our formula outperforms free packets by extending flower life up to 20 days.
💧 Water & Vase Care
💧 Without flower food: Every 1-2 days (bacteria grows fast).
💧 With standard free packets: Every 2-3 days.
💧 With Flower Boosters: Every 3-4 days—prevents bacteria while hydrating flowers.
Tap water is fine for most flowers, but filtered water removes chlorine and heavy metals that can shorten vase life. If your tap water is hard or high in chlorine, filtered or distilled water may help.
🚫 Common Myths & Mistakes
✅ Yes! Cooler temperatures slow wilting. This is why florists store flowers in coolers.
⚠️ Avoid placing flowers near fruits—they release ethylene gas that makes flowers wilt faster. If you buy grocery store flowers stored next to produce, they may have already been exposed!
❌ No! Smashing stems damages their ability to absorb water. Instead, trim at a sharp 45-degree angle.
🪙 Nope! Copper in pennies used to have antibacterial effects, but modern pennies contain zinc, which does nothing for flowers.While pure copper has does have antimicrobial properties, a single modern coin doesn’t release enough to prevent bacteria. Even pure copper, while it will help, is not a strong defence against modern bacteria and will only have a minimal impact on how long your flowers live.
