A few great tips for extending the life of your floral arrangements: |
* Cut the flowers in early morning while the flowers are rested.
* Select flowers in the bud stage, right when they begin to pucker.
* Strip foliage that would be below the water line.
*Add a teaspoon each of bleach, sugar, and vinegar per gallon of water to keep bacteria from forming.
* Change water every five to seven days.
* When arranging fresh cut flowers, match the water temperature with the season: For spring flowers, use ice water, for summer use room temperature water; and for winter flowers, use cool water.
* Try to match the vase or planter with the type and color of flowers that you are arranging for a blended look.
