You’ve just received a stunning bouquet — it brightens the room, lifts your mood, and fills the space with beauty.
But… by day three, the flowers begin to wilt and make you a little sad?
The good news is: you can extend the life of cut flowers — easily and effectively.
Here are 5 simple tips that actually work.
1. Trim the stems at an angle
Always use a sharp knife or pruners — scissors can crush the stems and block water absorption.
Cut at a 45° angle, ideally underwater or under running water.
Re-trim every 2 days, and your bouquet will stay fresh noticeably longer.
2. Change the water daily and wash the vase thoroughly
Every time you change the water, wash the vase with soap.
Dirty vases breed bacteria — and bacteria make flowers fade faster.
Also rinse the stems with cool running water before placing them back.
3. Remove leaves below the waterline
Leaves submerged in water rot quickly and spoil the bouquet.
Simply remove them when arranging — this small step makes a big difference.
4. Keep flowers away from fruit and direct sunlight
Fruits — especially apples and bananas — release ethylene gas, which speeds up aging in plants.
Also avoid placing flowers in direct sun or drafts.
5. Use only professional flower food
❌ Sugar, aspirin, and other “DIY hacks” don’t provide proper care.
✅ The best choice is a professional floral preservative like Crisal or similar.
These contain:
Available in both liquid and powder form.
You can order flower food from us — just send us a message on WhatsApp, and we’ll recommend the right one.
Flowers aren’t just decoration — they’re living beauty
With just a little care, you can extend your bouquet’s life by 5–7 days or more.
Let your flowers bring joy, comfort, and inspiration for longer.
