Tips for Longer Flower Fun
- Allow newly bought flowers, still in their wrapping, to drink clean fresh water for awhile.
- Make sure the flowers are put into a clean vase.
- You will enjoy your flowers longer if you feed them cut-flower food. Make sure you accurately measure the amount.
- Before arranging the flowers in a vase, first cut off one inch from each stem while holding it under water.
- Stems should never be broken off or flattened - not even "woody stems". Scraping off the bark is also a fallacy.
- Leaves should never be covered by water. They will only make it dirty and this will shorten the lives of the flowers.
- Top off the vase regularly with clean fresh water.
- During nighttime, flowers will benefit from a lower thermostat setting.
- Flowers cannot stand direct sunlight and drafts.
- Daffodils can be deadly to other flowers because they secrete a sap into the water. After trimming them, leave them on their own for 20 minutes. Do not cut them again when combining with other flowers.
