Tips for long-lasting flower arrangements: by following these simple steps, you can ensure that your flower arrangement stays fresh and beautiful for as long as possible, allowing you to enjoy their beauty and fragrance to the fullest.

1. Remove Submerged Foliage: As soon as your flowers arrive, remove any foliage that might be submerged in the water to prevent bacterial growth.

2. Trim Stems: Trim about 2 cm from the stems using sharp scissors or shears to ensure they can absorb water effectively.

3. Clean Vase: Use a clean vase to avoid any contaminants that could shorten the flowers’ lifespan.

4. Floral Preservative: Keep the vase full by regularly adding water mixed with floral preservative, following the instructions on the package.

5. Change Cloudy Water: If the water solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely to maintain freshness.

6. Re-Cut Stems: If possible, re-cut the stems by removing one to two inches with a sharp knife to allow better water absorption.

7. Optimal Location: Display your arrangement in a cool spot away from direct sunlight. Avoid extreme temperatures, as they can wilt the flowers prematurely.
