Who doesn't love having a fresh bouquet of flowers sitting on their kitchen table? It's always a treat to have a vase of aromatic blooms sitting right in front of an open window....all it takes is one nice breeze to carry the fragarance throughout your house.
Unfortunately, fresh flowers don’t last forever but with a few simple tips you’ll be able to enjoy them for as long as possible.
• Ensure the vase is clean and free of soap residue before you use it
• Strip the stem of all leaves that will be below the waterline
• Use a sharp knife and, at a 45 degree angle, cut at least one inch from the bottom of each flower
• Fill your vase or container with lukewarm water
• Use a commercial flower preservative
• Keep flowers in a cool spot, away from sunlight or heat sources
• Change the water regularly to discourage the growth of bacteria
• Remove flowers as they start to wilt
