-
The faster you put your flowers in water the better
-
Always cut the stems, preferably with a sharp ulcerated knife at an angle to expose the stems to water
-
Trim away any leaves that would be submerged in water once in the vase and if you are handling roses, make sure to leave the thorns on the stems as removing them will shorten their life span
-
Fill your vase as high as you can with lukewarm water for most flowers, but if you are handling bulbs such as tulips or daffodils, it is best to use cold water
-
Change the water in your vase every two to three days as opposed to simply adding more.
