Nothing says ‘I love you so much’ like a bouquet of flowers, especially on Valentine’s Day. Giving or receiving them is lovely but there's a little problem – fresh-cut flowers don't last long. But no need to worry as you can revive them with a little TLC! We have some easy tips and tricks to make Valentine’s Day flowers stay happy and beautiful for a longer time. Follow these basic, timeless tips and make the most of your gorgeous blooms -
Trimming Stems with Care
Start by giving your Valentine’s Day flowers a fresh cut diagonally. This helps in better water absorption, ensuring your blossoms stay hydrated. Use sharp scissors or shears for a clean cut, removing any wilted or submerged leaves.
Changing Water Regularly
Think of water as your flowers' life support. Change the water every 2-3 days to prevent bacterial growth and keep it clear. Don't forget to rinse the vase thoroughly before refilling.
Optimal Water Temperature
Flowers prefer a spa-like experience! Yeah - they have got their priorities straight so treat them right to lukewarm water. Avoid extremes - too hot or too cold water can shock the blooms. To keep them happy and smiling for a long, room-temperature water is just right!
Choosing the Right Vase
Select a clean vase that complements the size of your bouquet. The vase should provide sufficient room for the stems to not feel suffocated, allowing the flowers to breathe.
Removing Foliage Below the Waterline
Remove any kind of foliage (yellow leaves, dead petals, wilted flowers, etc.) that falls below the waterline in the vase. This prevents the spread of harmful bacteria and decay and keeps the water fresh for longer.
Feeding Your Blooms
Just like us, flowers need nourishment. Add the flower food provided with your bouquet or create your own mixture with a teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice. This DIY solution acts as a floral energy boost.
Avoiding Direct Sunlight and Heat
Do not keep your flowers in direct sunlight or heat sources. Place them in a cool spot that will prevent premature ageing, preserving the beauty of your flower arrangements. So, incorporate these easy steps and extend the joy of your Valentine’s Day flowers! With proper TLC, you will see your flowers dancing through time.
