How to do it? |
Always trim the stems before placing flowers in water |
When you buy flowers, you should always trim the stems before placing them in a vase of water. After a couple of days, it is essential to cut the stems again. It allows fresh water to penetrate the flower stem. Don't forget to change the water every couple of days. |
Remove part of the leaves |
Before you put the flowers in a vase, you need to cut the stems and remove excess leaves. It is vital to do this with leaves at the base of the stems. Leaves should not be in the water. Otherwise, they will start to rot, which will cause bacteria in the water and an unpleasant smell. |
Find the right size vase |
Choosing the right flower vase is also an important rule. For example, if the opening is too narrow, the flower stems may be pressed too closely together. In this situation, removing the extra stems or finding another vase is worth it. However, the neck of the vase should not be too wide. Otherwise, your bouquet will not have any shape. |
Remove dying flowers |
From time to time, check the condition of the flowers in your bouquet and remove the darkened and withered petals. Such flowers become moldy and interfere with the health of the entire bouquet. |
