Look no further if your quest is for fresh and beautiful flowers. A few easy steps devised by the flower experts of Bridenbloom.com will ensure that your flowers remain fresh but also be a perfect gift option for near and dear ones.
A problem faced by most people when buying flowers, is the inability to make them last as long as possible � commonly referred to as vase life . At Bridenbloom.com, we believe the combination of a few easily available ingredients and measures can work wonders for your flowers.
When you buy flowers ensure that the bud shows some color. Keep a pail of water handy for sprinkling, after the flowers have been bought. A small amount of flower preservative or cut flower food also can be put in the water and the vases and containers in which the flowers are to be kept. This preservative prevents the flowers from wilting too soon and is easily available with florists.
Keep the containers and vases in which the flowers are to be kept clean; else bacterial growth can clog the water vessels, ruining the flowers. Regularly top up the vase with clean water. Use one-part bleach for nine parts water to further prevent the growth of bacteria and ensure germ-free containers. Do make sure the containers have been rinsed well with water to remove traces of chemicals. Flowers with spots indicate the presence of pests, disease, or inadequate sun and water.
Cut off about an inch from each stem - at an angle before arranging the flowers in a vase. Also remember that stems should never be broken off or flattened, not even woody stems . Even scraping off the bark shortens the life of the flower.
Keep flowers away from cold drafts and the direct sun to prevent them from drying and ensuring long vase-life for them. Increasing the humidity level can also increase their vase life. However, too much humidity may cause mold and kill your flowers. Also, keep them away from fruits, as they let off a gas called ethylene, which speeds up the process of aging in flowers.
