1) Find a Vase - Flowers thrive on hydration. Use your favourite vase and fill it with about 10cm of cool, clean water. Ensure the vase is thoroughly cleaned before placing the flowers in. Add flower food or 10 drops of bleach.
2) Trim Stems - Allow your flowers to drink efficiently by trimming their stems. Make angled cuts to enhance water absorption, preventing them from being suffocated on the vase floor.
3) Remove Leaves - Eliminate excess leaves that might linger below the water level. This helps to maintain water purity and prevents bacterial growth.
4) Cool Down - Protect your flowers from direct sunlight. Choose a location that offers indirect light to ensure they stay fresh and vibrant.
5) Love Them - Maximize vase life by keeping the water fresh. After the initial trim, inspect the stems every couple of days. If you notice slimy bases, trim again to maintain water quality and extend the life of your beautiful blooms.
