- The sooner that you put your flowers into water, the longer they will last.
- The flowers should be re-cut at the stems while submerged in water. This is important for hollow-stemmed flowers so it will prevent an airlock from forming in the stem which may prevent the flowers from taking water.
- The stems should be cut on an angle, which will create a wider exposed area and allow the flowers to take the maximum amount of water.
- Flowers will last longer if the plant food is added to the water. An example to an alternative to plant food would be sugar.
