ES Care tips for your flowers.
Proper Hydration
- Trim the stems diagonally every two days to improve water absorption.
- Change the vase water every 1-2 days to prevent bacteria buildup.
- Use fresh, clean water; if possible, opt for filtered or dechlorinated water.
- Make sure no leaves are submerged in the water to avoid decomposition.
Ideal Placement
- Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and drafts.
- Avoid placing them near heat-emitting appliances such as microwaves or radiators.
- Keep them away from fruits, as the ethylene they release accelerates the aging process of flowers.
Use of Floral Preservatives
- Add a packet of floral preservative to the water to extend flower freshness.
- If you don't have a preservative, you can use a homemade mix of sugar (to feed the flowers) and vinegar or a crushed aspirin (to prevent bacteria).
Gentle Handling
- Handle flowers with care to avoid damaging the petals and stems, as they are delicate.
- Remove wilted flowers from the arrangement to help the remaining ones stay fresh longer.
Optimal Temperature
- Keep flowers in a cool environment, ideally between 64-72°F (18-22°C).
- Avoid sudden temperature changes, as they can affect their longevity.
Understanding Different Flower Needs
- Roses require a lot of water and should be kept well hydrated.
- Tulips continue to grow even after being cut, so they should be kept in cold water and monitored for height.
- Tropical flowers, such as orchids, prefer humid and warmer environments.
Reviving Wilted Flowers
- If flowers start to wilt, submerge the stems in warm water for a few minutes to revive them.
- Lightly mist the petals with water to give them a fresh appearance.
Avoiding Overwatering
- While water is essential, too much of it can cause stem rot, so ensure the water level is adequate without overfilling the vase.
