Points to be Kept in Mind:
When arranging fresh flowers at home, you obviously would wish if it could stay for a longer time. Bingo! I have got some secrets to share:
1
Cut
out the stems from the base in a slant way, say 45 degree angle for 1
cm daily or once you change the water. Use luke warm water to store
fresh flowers, as warm water helps in better absorption with a pinch of
bleach or vinegar in it.
2
Remove the leaves and petals of flowers submerged in water.
3
If
you are tired enough and have come back late night….phew, who cares to
arrange for a vase, put water and arrange them (I seriously won’t do
that). Let me easy your task, just keep your bouquet in refrigerator,
to prevent it from dying.
4
Aha, next morning start fresh and decorate your home with fresh flowers.
5
If
you want to protect flowers from dying and stay fresh for long, keep it
away from direct sunlight and area of high temperature like above
Television, on your window, or fireplaces.
6
If you are going to use flowers from your garden, the best time to do so is early morning.
7
Else,
if you are buying flowers for your home, it’s better to buy budding
flowers than already bloomed ones. It will stay much longer.
