Car Tips.
How
to Lengthen the Life
of Your Arrangement.
Two
of the top questions asked when purchasing flowers are "How
do I take care of them?" and "How long will they last?" Whether
it's a single bud, a small bunch or an abundant arrangement, a
little extra care can make a big difference.Most floral arrangements
last between 4-7 days, depending on the types of flowers used and
the type of care they receive. The Society of Florists suggests
these tips for longer-lasting, more vibrant flowers:
For
floral arrangements
Keep the vase filled or floral foam soaked with water containing
a flower food provided by your florist. If
the flower food solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely. If
possible, re cut stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp
knife. Keep flowers in a cool spot and
away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents, directly under
ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or heaters. (Appliances
like televisions give off heat, causing flowers to dehydrate.)
For
loose bunches or boxed flowers
If you can't get your flowers in a flower
food solution right away, keep them in a cool place. Fill
a clean, deep vase with water and add the flower food obtained
from your florist. Be sure to follow the directions on the package
.Remove leaves that will be below the waterline. Leaves in water
will promote bacterial growth. Re cut stems with a sharp knife.
Do this underwater -- this allows the stems to draw in water instead
of air -- and place the flowers in the vase solution you've
prepared.
