Prolong The Life Of Those Fresh Flowers In Your Vase

A bunch of flowers bring back many sweet memories – a romantic date, a happy news or just a good day. Wouldn’t you love to preserve those special moments a little longer? Simply keep your favourite fresh flowers around you in a vase to remind you of the good things in life. But those lovely blossoms need your help too to feel alive and beautiful. Learn with us how to take care of freshly cut flowers so you can see them bloom longer.

fresh flowers

1. Wrap them Up

Remove any severely wilted leaves, petals and foliage and put a cellophane or paper wrapper around them. Place them in fresh water as soon as soon as you buy them.

2. Wash that Vase

Before using a vase for fresh flowers, wash it in hot, soapy water and rinse well. This will remove microorganisms and help keep the water clean.

3. Clear the Stem

Remove any leaves from the parts of the stems that will be submerged in the vase water. Bacteria from leaves that decay underwater can build up to plug the ends of the flower stems and prevent them from absorbing water.

4. Cut the Stem at a 45 Degree Angle

Cut the stem at a 45-degree angle with a sharp knife, about  1 to 2 inches from the bottom of each flower stalk. Ideally, make your final cuts under running water or in a bowl of warm water to help prevent trapped air from blocking the stems’ water uptake.

5. Avoid Soft Water

Do not use soft water as it has high amounts of sodium, which is not good for the flowers.

6. Add Bleach

Adding a small amount of bleach (less than 1 teaspoon per quart of water) can help keep the water clean and deter bacteria.

7. Spray them Regularly

Keep adding water to the vase as needed and spray a mist on the flowers daily. Do not forget to trim a bit off the ends of the stems and change the water every other day.

8. Do Not Expose them to Extreme Temperatures

Keep flowers away from direct sunlight and hot areas, such as heating vents, as well as cold areas, such as near a window or door in winters.

9. Keep Away from Fruits

Avoid placing your arrangement near ripening fruit as it releases tiny amounts of ethylene gas that can cause flowers to age faster.

Now those beautiful flowers will bloom for a little while longer.

Dating. It never gets easy, no matter in what era you are currently living. There’s so much dating jargon to keep track of that it could easily get exhausting. Red, yellow, and green flags are pretty common in the dating realm. Beige flags in dating are the latest trend you need to look out for. Red flags scream danger, yellow flags require you to tread with caution, and green flags are the thumbs-up you were waiting for the universe to give you. But beige flags require a little reading between the lines. Here's everything you need to know. - @abookaholicarts, Features Writer

Nail health is important and your nails can tell a lot about your overall health. So, the next time you see white spots, streaks, or even ridges, you should know something is up. These can indicate any sort of underlying illness and should not be neglected. Ideally, healthy nails should not be discoloured or brittle and should be smooth. But if you’re spotting some unevenness, discolouration, or lines across your nails, here’s something for you. - @ravnoor09, Features Writer
