THE VASE

The vase you choose to keep your flower in can have a huge role to play not just in display but also in the survival of the plant. Begin with a narrow mouthed, long vase for long stemmed flowers such as roses and orchids. A wide mouthed, short vase is perfect for succulents and other short flowers. Do not over stuff into a single vase. It might block out the light and air that your flower is in dire need of. Clean the vase before potting to remove any fungal or bacterial growth. Your flowers are delicate, more so after their stems have been slashed.

WATERING THE FLOWER

The most common mistake people make is that they overwater or under water the plant. Take into consideration the type of plant and the vase used before you decide how much water to add.  Most fresh cut flowers don’t require daily watering. Just keep them in a half filled vase and change the water every two days.

PLANT FOOD

If you are serious about plant care, then plant food must be bought. These packets contain all the nutrients a flower requires to survive without the support of its stem and roots. They are inexpensive and can simply be added to the mixture.

HOME REMEDIES

Mix 2 tablespoons of apple cider and vinegar and 2 more of sugar to create a mixture. If available, add 2 tablespoons of vodka as well. Add this mixture to the water in the vase. It’ll maintain the PH level and prevent any bacterial growth. Moreover, it doesn’t allow the flowers to ripen extending their lifetime.

REFRIGERATE

This has been found to be the single most effective trick to make flowers remain fresh for longer. Put them in fridge for 8 hours every night after you sleep. The cold temperature will help it thrive.

PRUNING AND CUTTING

Some flowers have protective petals such as roses. Remove the outer layer to allow the flower to bloom fully. Cut the stem by at least 2 inches and at an angle. This allows for more water absorption by the stem.

Follow these tips to ensure that your flower outlives your expectations. Happy flowering!
