HERE YOU’LL FIND SOME TOP TIPS TO GET THE BEST OUT OF YOUR BLOOM.

• ALWAYS CUT THE STEMS

ITS IMPORTANT TO CLIP THE STEMS AFTER A FEW DAYS. THIS WILL ALLOW FRESH WATER TO PENETRATE THE STEM. EVERY THREE DAYS OR SO, USING SHARP SCISSORS CUT ABOUT ONE INCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF EACH STEM AT A 45 DEGREE ANGLE.

• CUT BACK THE FOLIAGE

BEFORE YOU PLACE YOUR CUT FLOWERS IN A VASE, TAKE SOME TIME TO REMOVE ANY EXTRA LEAVES AT THE BASE OF THE STEM THAT WOULD LIKELY REST UNDER THE WATERLINE ONCE THE FLOWERS ARE IN THE VASE. EXTRA FOLIAGE WILL DECREASE ANY BACTERIA IN THE WATER, HELPING KEEP THE WATER CLEAR AND CLEAN LONGER.

• CHOOSE THE RIGHT VASE

IF YOUR VASE IS TOO NARROW, THE STEMS MIGHT GET SQUISHED. IF THE MOUTH OF YOUR VASE IS TOO WIDE, THE ARRANGEMENT WILL NOT HAVE ANY SHAPE.

• CHANGE THE WATER

FRESH CLEAN WATER WILL KEEP YOUR CUT FLOWERS ALIVE LONGER. ABOUT EVERY THREE DAYS TAKE THE FLOWERS OUT OF THE VASE AND REPLENISH THE WATER. RINSE THE VASE WITH WARM WATER TO CLEAN IT OUT THEN FILL IT TO TWO-THIRDS WITH FRESH WATER.

• REMOVE ANY DYING FLOWERS

TO CONTINUE TO ENJOY YOUR FLOWERS, REMOVE BLOOMS THAT ARE WILTING AND DYING AS THEY CAN BEGIN TO GROW MOLD AND CONTAMINATE THE STILL PRETTY BLOOMS. WHILE THIS WONT DO ANYTHING TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR FLOWERS IT WILL KEEP YOUR BLOOM LOOKING GOOD AND FOR LONGER.

• FIND THE PERFECT SPOT

KEEPING YOUR CUT FLOWERS IN THE RIGHT PLACE CAN MAKE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THEIR LIFE. PLACE YOUR ARRANGEMENT IN A SHADED, COOL AREA THAT RECIEVES INDIRECT SUNLIGHT. THE COLDER TEMPERATURE HELPS PRESERVE YOUR BLOOM.

DRIED FLOWERS.
