Hello Friends,
Rebecca
here with Simply Love Floral. Valentine’s day is right around this
corner, we know lots of homes and offices will be filled with lovely floral arrangements. When you add flowers to any space, you
create a sense of warmth and happiness. If you are anything like me,
you want these beautiful arrangements to last as long as possible. So,
here are some tips to keep those gorgeous arrangements looking fresh
days from Valentine’s Day.
· Remove
any leaves from water line down. Leaves increase the form of bacteria
which cause them to die faster. If you are taking flowers home to be put
in your own vase be sure you begin with a clean container. Cleaning
with soap and water will remove bacteria from the container.
· Don’t leave flowers in car over a long period of time.
· Re-cut stems at an angle when taken home & be sure to re-cut every time you change the water.
· Change
water daily if you remember. If not at least every other day and be
sure to fill the vase with plenty of water, flowers get very thirsty.
· Don't place in air vent or in direct sunlight.
· Lillies
are very popular and beautiful but can be messy. The pollen will cause
the flower to wilt and die faster. So as the lilly blooms be sure to
remove the pollen CAREFULLY.
· Love
and enjoy your flowers. As you enjoy your flowers remove the wilted and
dying ones it will keep your arrangement looking clean.
Hope you enjoy these quick and easy tips. If you have a favorite tip,
