When you buy flowers, they often come with “free” cut flower preservative packets. We all assume that formual will help them stay fresh and beautiful longer after we bring them home. But the reality is that packet contains the same formula big flower sellers use to suspend flowers in transit and make them appear younger and fresher so you will buy them. That formula is not designed to make your flowers last longer!  

Most cut flowers only last an average 4-7 days. Those packets won’t change that. 

What you need is  a solution that not only perks up your flowers but also ensures their lasting splendor giving you more value for every bouquet. This is where the true power of a cut flower preservative comes into play.

The Illusion of Freshness
The flower industry has mastered the art of presentation. The inclusion of “free flower packets” in your bouquet might make you believe that you’re getting the freshest blooms available. In fact, you can’t really know what these packets do because they won’t share what they put in that formula!  You don’t know if it is safe around children and pets. You don’t know if there are cancer causing chemicals. You can even write the company and they will just tell you it’s a “secret formula”. 

The Reality Check
The truth is, flowers don’t just need a suspension of decay; they require nourishment and care to truly thrive. Once flowers are cut from their roots, their only source of nourishment comes from the vase water. 

This is where a quality cut flower preservative steps in – you need a solution that not only extends the life of your blooms but also encourages them to open up, release their enchanting fragrances, and maintain their vibrant colors.

Beyond Temporary Suspension
Cut flower preservatives contain a balanced blend of nutrients, bactericides, and pH regulators that work together to ensure your flowers receive the care they deserve. Unlike the short-term effect of the “free flower packets,” which only help keep flowers suspended further, you need a cut flower preservative that ensures your flowers take in water to stay hydrated, open up and bloom fully, AND provide the formula necessary to prevent bacterial growth, and maintain their natural pH levels for a longer, healthier life. You need a way to transform the blooms from mere passengers on their way to wilting to proud, thriving centerpieces that grace your space.

The Economic Advantage
Let’s face it – buying flowers frequently can be costly. The flower industry’s profit model thrives on the frequent replacement of wilting blooms. They don’t care that your flowers only last 4-7 days. In fact, that’s perfect. It will have you buying more when you go to the grocery store next week. 

However, with the right cut flower preservative, you’re no longer a captive audience to this cycle. By investing in the longevity of your flowers, you’re making every floral purchase an economical choice. Your blossoms will last longer, providing you with days of joy and elegance.
