Change the water every 2-3 days to prevent bacterial growth and keep it clear. Don&#8217;t forget to rinse the vase thoroughly before refilling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optimal_Water_Temperature\"><\/span><b>Optimal Water Temperature<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flowers prefer a spa-like experience! Yeah &#8211; they have got their priorities straight so treat them right to lukewarm water. Avoid extremes &#8211; 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!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_the_Right_Vase\"><\/span><b>Choosing the Right Vase<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17543\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Choosing-the-Right-Vase-image-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Choosing the Right Vase\" width=\"332\" height=\"221\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Choosing-the-Right-Vase-image-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.fnp.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Choosing-the-Right-Vase-image.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removing_Foliage_Below_the_Waterline\"><\/span><b>Removing Foliage Below the Waterline<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feeding_Your_Blooms\"><\/span><b>Feeding Your Blooms<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like us, flowers need nourishment.
