You’ve now properly loved & cared for your fresh cut blooms. Re-cut your stems on an angle every second day, as well as changing the vase water with fresh, lukewarm water. Keep them in a cool place, away from direct heat.įlowers are very clever things, every couple of days the stems are going to create a seal where you had previously cut, making it tricky to stay hydrated. Also, keep them away from your fruit bowl your fruit produces a gas that will make your blooms age quickly.
Now where to display your blooms? Although they’d look so lovely in the sunny window or just above the lit fireplace, your flowers are starting to wilt at the thought of it they don’t like the heat. At this point you have a few options you can cut the string and have your arrangement fan out, keep the string on and have a tighter arrangement, or you can get creative and rearrange your blooms yourself - totally up to you. If you still have foliage attached to your stems, leave them there - they’ll help the blooms with their hydration process. We don't want any loose foliage sitting in the water, it’ll create more bacteria in the vase and shorten the vase life of your flowers. We cut on an angle for a couple of reasons - firstly because it creates more surface area on the stem for the flower to drink, and secondly, it prevents your flowers from sitting directly on the bottom of your vase, which will block water flow. Keeping your loose grip on the stems (we keep it loose so we do not snap any stems), grab your snips and on a 45 degree angle, cut an inch off the bottom of each stem. They’ll need to be sharp so they don't crush the tiny vascular system in the stem. Some florist will tie string around their arrangements to hold it in place & some will not we keep a loose grip on the stems because once you take that wrap off, the arrangement could lose its shape if it’s not tied. With a loose grip, clasp your stems around the pivot point of the arrangement and unwrap your flowers. Next, on a bench or flat surface, lay your flowers down.
, add a drop or two of into your vase - this will help keep bacteria from growing in the vase (it’s not enough to kill your blooms).
