Tips on flower arrangements
Tips
for making flower arrangements last longer.
Keep your vases clean!
Start with the premise that the vase should be clean, remove any dead
leaves from the water and avoid leaves being below the water line to help
prevent bacterial build up.Preferably use flower food which has a bacteriacide
in it.
Cutting flower stems
When buying cut flowers, cut off about 1cm of stem with a sharp knife
or very sharp scissors, preferably whilst holding them uin water, and
then place them immediately in your vase. Try not to tear off any outer
parts of the stem because this can allow in infection and reduce the length
that the flowers last.

How important is flower food?
Most flowers will come with flower food and this helps to keep the foliage
healthy, which will prolong your display.
How important is light?
Be careful of too much direct sunlight or strong indoor lights as this
can overheat the flowers but generally, the more light the better providing
you keep them relatively cool also.
Humidity
Flowers prefer a humid environment as this stops them losing so much water.
Drafts or air conditioning tend to dry flowers and make them age more
quickly.
Remember!
Leave on as many leaves as possible above the water line, remove dying
and dead flower heads and any damaged or yellowing leaves. Keep the water
topped up and fresh, with flower food if you have to replenish it. Remove
any leaves that fall into the water to avoid bacterial build up which
harms the plats, is unsightly in glass vases and causes bad odours.
