How to Care for Your Lowensvlei Fresh Cut Flowers
Welcome to our guide on keeping your fresh flowers vibrant and long-lasting! Follow these simple steps to ensure your bouquet stays beautiful for as long as possible.
1. Trim the Stems
Before placing your flowers in a vase, cut the stems at a 45-degree angle. This allows for better water absorption. Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to avoid crushing the stems.
2. Use Flower Food
Flower food helps nourish your bouquet. Dissolve the packet that came with your flowers in the water. If you don’t have flower food, mix 1 teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of bleach into the water as an alternative.
3. Change the Water Regularly
Fresh, clean water is essential. Change the water every 2-3 days, and wash the vase to prevent bacterial growth. Re-trim the stems each time to promote hydration.
4. Keep Away from Direct Sunlight and Heat
Place your vase in a cool location away from direct sunlight, heating vents, or appliances that give off heat. Excessive heat can cause the flowers to wilt faster.
5. Remove Fading Flowers
To keep the bouquet looking fresh, remove any flowers that start to wilt. This prevents decay from spreading to the rest of the arrangement.
By following these simple steps, you’ll keep your bouquet fresh and vibrant longer. Enjoy the beauty of your flowers every day!
