The Perfect Posy

Here are five fresh flower care tips to help your bouquets last longer:

• Trim the stems – Cut 1-2 cm off the stems at a 45-degree angle before placing them in water. This increases surface area for water absorption and prevents stems from sitting flat at the bottom of the vase.

• Change the water regularly – Replace the water every 2-3 days to keep it fresh and prevent bacteria growth. If possible, clean the vase each time to remove any residue.

• Remove any submerged leaves – Leaves sitting in water can cause bacteria to multiply quickly, shortening the lifespan of your flowers. Strip any leaves that would sit below the waterline.

• Keep them in a cool spot – Flowers last longer when kept away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts. A cool room with indirect light is ideal.

• Mist your flowers – Lightly spritz your flowers with water every day, especially delicate blooms like roses and hydrangeas. This helps keep petals hydrated and looking fresh for longer.
