There's nothing like a vase of fresh flowers to breathe life into a room. However, as soon as those flowers start to wither, a wilting bouquet can make a whole space feel dingey. Fortunately, there are some easy steps you can take to prolong the life of your stems. Follow these tips for your freshest flowers yet.
First, cut all green and woody stems at a 45-degree angle. This prevents the stems from sitting flat in the bottom of the vase and creates a large surface area, ensuring maximum water absorption. Use clippers or shears for woody stems and sharp scissors or knives for other flowers. If possible, cut stems under water. Remove any leaves that would otherwise sit under the waterline in the vase. Leaves rot when submerged, encouraging algae and bacteria in the container and shortening the life of your blooms.
