Care for cut flowers

Many people are interested in the question of how to properly care for fresh flowers.

Below you will find some useful tips on caring for flowers to keep them fresh as long as possible.

If you put flowers in the water

The vase must be filled with water containing beneficial substances purchased from a florist. Follow the instructions on the package.
If the water in the vase becomes cloudy, replace it completely. Cut flowers 3-5 cm with a sharp knife.
Tear off the leaves in the water. Leaves in the water provide more opportunities for the development of bacteria that are detrimental to flowers.

Basic Flower Care Tips

Keep flowers in a cool place (10-15 degrees Celsius), avoid direct sunlight, away from heaters and fans. Do not put flowers on the TV or battery. Devices such as televisions produce heat, thereby causing the flowers to dry and release moisture.

Put flowers in water with additives. Do not place the vase in places exposed to direct sunlight, sources of heat, or cold.
Daily check the status of flowers. Remove packaging, polyethylene and foil. Check the water level and add a solution of mineral additives.
