Easy tips and tricks to make your flowers last longer

If you’re going to spend the money on flowers, you want them to last.

Here are a few tricks to making them last longer.

Change the vase water

It is important to make sure you change the water every day.

“If you change the water daily, you will keep the algae out of the water”, said Marty McCall from Kuhn Flowers. “At that point, your flowers will probably last 7 to 10 days, maybe even up to 14 days”.

Cut stems

Make sure to cut your flower stems at a 45-degree angle so the entire stem’s surface area is always in contact with the water. It’s important to take 1/2 inch to an inch off the stem for the freshest cut.

Clean flower, stems

Be sure to remove excess/dead leaves and dead pedals. Also, you can take the stems and rid them of mold and gunk.

Also, be sure to keep your flowers away from direct light and heat.
