Floral Care

Read about simple tricks that will help you get the long pleasure of fresh cut flowers.

Watering Flowers

You should change water every day. And always use clean or filtered room temperature water, because hot or cold water will result to shock flower petals, and dry out quickly.

Food for Flowers

When you change the water, add plant food and a flower preservative.
If you do not have a flower preservative at home? That is no problem at all.

Below is my grandmother flowers recipes for making a homemade flower preservative, and your fresh cut bouquet lasts for ever.

You can add this home made plant food to one litre of room temperature water and stir thoroughly:
* two tablsps of lemon juice
* one tablsp of sugar
* half teasp of bleach chlorine




Temperature for Flowers

Flowers thrive at temperatures between 17C and 23C (64F-73F).

Try to keep your flowers away from heat or draft.

Try to keep your flowers away from fruit and vegetable (especially bananas & oranges), gas stoves and smoking, but the best advice we can give you is to remove drying leaves and petals from the arrangement.

How to care about fresh roses

If a rose wilts prematurely, remove it from the floral arrangement, and fill your sink with several inches of warm water.
While holding the stem under water, cut about one inch from the stem with a sharp knife or scisors.
Float the rose on the water surface so that the stem end remains slightly below the surface.
Within an hour the rose will revive, and you put it back in your bouquet arrangement.
