Essential Tips for Flower Care

Flowers beautify any space, but proper care is essential for their longevity. Here are some tips for flower care:

1. Clean Your Vase

Before placing your flowers in a vase, ensure it is thoroughly cleaned to prevent any lingering bacteria from making your flowers wilt faster.

2. Water Temperature and Quality

Use fresh, lukewarm water for your flowers as they can absorb it more quickly. Avoid using hot or cold water. Cut flowers need clean, pure water.

3. Trim the Stems

Cut about 2-3cm from the bottom of the stems at a 45-degree angle. This helps the flowers absorb water more efficiently.

4. Use Flower Food

Flower food contains sugar to feed the flowers and bleach which slows the growth of algae and bacteria.

5. Change the Water Regularly

Replace the water with fresh, cool water every 2-3 days to keep it clean and drinkable for the flowers.

6. Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat

Keep your flowers out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources to prolong their life.

7. Remove Wilted Flowers

Wilted flowers can spread mould onto the others, so it's best to remove them as soon as possible.

8. Avoid Certain Home Remedies

Do not put copper coins, aspirin, lemonade, or bleach in the water. These popular tricks don't work.

9. Don't Mix Certain Flowers

Daffodils and narcissi emit latex from their stems when cut, which shortens the life of other flowers.

10. Clean the Vase After Use

Once your flowers have reached the end of their life, it's important to wash out the vase completely to get rid of any bacteria.

Proper flower care can significantly extend the lifespan of your flowers, allowing you to enjoy their beauty for a longer period.
