Flowers are really popular to send to loved ones on special occasions such as Valentines Day, Mother’s Day, weddings, and anniversaries. Places such as offices and homes are more comfortable and lively when flowers are used as decorations. What makes these gifts of nature so great is that they look and smell fantastic. They have bright colors, unique shapes, and they have the most wonderful scents only nature can give.
The downside is that flowers tend to wilt prematurely if you don’t take care of them properly. Not all of us are florists and gardeners, here are some ways to extend the life of your arrangements:
- If you receive flowers that aren’t in water, act as quick as you can. Drench them in water, or preferably in floral foam or flower food solution. These can be provided by your florist.
- If the flower food or floral foam solution turns cloudy, replace it entirely. Same goes for those who are using plain water; replacing it daily with fresh water is a must.
- No flower foam or flower food? You can make your own! Just add a teaspoon of bleach, a tablespoon of sugar, and a gallon of water. Viola! Your homemade flower food. Some gardening experts even say you can pour a 12-ounce can of non-diet 7-Up or Sprite in half a gallon of water The acid in the soda will slow down growth of bacteria in the water, while the sugar will “feed” the plant.
- Re-cut your flower stems at a 45-degree angle using a sharp cutting tool, such as a sharp knife, good pair of scissors, or pruning shears. Cut the stems at a 45-degree angle, and do this underwater. This allows the stems to draw in water instead of air and the increased surface area from the 45-degree cut allows for improved water/solution absorption.
- Some flowers generally last longer than others. Once they wilt, take them from the vase.
- Get rid of leaves that will be under the vase’s waterline, to lessen bacteria growth in the water.
- Remember to place your flower arrangement in a cool, dry spot, away from heat. About 65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit is the recommended temperature for flowers, away from heating or cooling vents, directly under ceiling fans, on top of televisions or radiators, and away from direct sunlight, to avoid premature dehydration and wilting.
