Cut flowers can add a touch of elegance any room, but they often wilt and die if not properly cared for. However, with a few simple tips you can extend their life and keep them fresh for longer.

First and foremost, it's very important to choose the right type of flowers that have not been sprayed with growth inhibitors. These flowers will keep growing and develop while cut, causing them to wilt and die faster.

When selecting flowers, look for ones with straight stems, as these will drink water more easily and hold their heads better. Also, choose flowers that are not bunched up too tight as they will be more easy to enjoy once cut.

Once you bring your flowers home, https://www.om1.ru/news/society/388579-kak_prodlit_zhizn_srezannym_cvetam_sovety_ot_ehkspertov_salona_cvetov_leaflor/ trim the stems at an angle to allow them to absorb water more efficiently and effectively. This is especially important if you're using a vase without a long neck to stand tall flowers that require more support. Fill your vase with lukewarm water that's just right for flowers, and add some flower food that provides extra nutrients.

One of the most critical factors for keeping cut flowers fresh is the right amount of hydration. Check the water level every day to ensure it becomes low, and add fresh water as needed. If the water becomes cloudy and murky, change it completely to prevent bacteria from multiplying. Also, avoid placing the vase in a spot that's too hot too fast to dry out.

Another key factor in keeping cut flowers fresh is temperature. Most cut flowers prefer temperatures between 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. So try to keep them in a comfortable spot. Some flowers, like orchids, like cooler temperatures, so be sure to check the particular requirements of each flower type.

To save your stems from damage, it's absolutely essential to use the right type of vase. Avoid vases that are too tiny or have narrow openings as these can cause the stems to bend or break easily. Instead, choose vases that are roomy and well-circulated.
