The 5 Secrets to Longer-Lasting Cut Flowers
1. Trim Stems the Right Way
- Always cut at a 45-degree angle for better water absorption.
- Use sharp scissors or floral shears to prevent crushing the stems.
2. Use the Right Water Temperature
- Cool water helps most flowers stay fresh.
- Warm water (not hot) works best for roses, lilies, and hydrangeas.
3. Feed Your Flowers Properly
Most store-bought flower food packets are too small to be effective. Instead, use Flower Boosters, a scientifically formulated mix of:
✅ Caffeine – Stimulates water uptake
✅ Vitamins & Minerals – Keeps petals strong
✅ Natural Preservatives – Prevents bacteria growth
4. Keep Flowers Away from These Hidden Dangers
❌ Ripening Fruit – Releases ethylene gas, making flowers wilt faster.
❌ Direct Sunlight – Speeds up dehydration.
❌ Drafts & Heat Sources – Dries out petals and stems.
5. Change Water & Refresh Nutrients Every 3-4 Days
Just like fresh food needs refrigeration, flowers need clean water and nutrients to thrive. Refreshing the vase water every 3-4 days ensures the longest vase life.
