To ensure the longevity of your fresh cut flowers and foliage, it's essential to provide them with proper care and maintenance. Follow these straightforward steps to significantly extend the vase life of your blooms:
-
Begin by preparing a vase with water. Add 1-2 small drops of bleach to the water to prevent bacterial growth.
-
If your flowers have been professionally tied and arranged, it's advisable to keep the binding intact to maintain their arrangement.
-
Before placing the flowers in the vase, give their stems a clean cut. Immediately submerge them in the prepared vase of water within 60 seconds. This prevents the stems from sealing, ensuring efficient hydration and longer-lasting freshness.
-
Change the water in the vase every 2 days, and as time passes, remove any wilted or spent blooms from the bunch.
-
Always store your fresh flowers in a cool location, away from direct sunlight, drafts, and windows. This helps preserve their freshness and beauty.
By following these steps, you can enjoy your fresh cut flowers and foliage for an extended period, adding beauty and vibrancy to your living space.
Dried flowers have unique care requirements compared to fresh blooms, and they don't need water to maintain their beauty. Here are some tips for caring for dried flowers:
- Choose an opaque ceramic container or a basket when displaying dried flowers. This is a preferred option as dried flower stems may not be visually appealing.
- Enhance the fragrance of your dried flowers by lightly misting them with essential oils. They can absorb the fragrance and act as a natural fragrance diffuser for several weeks.
- To preserve the color of dried flowers, it's essential to keep them away from direct sunlight. However, it's worth noting that over time, dried flowers may naturally fade to some extent.
- Maintain a positive Feng Shui energy with your dried flowers by periodically rearranging them, adding different varieties, or placing them in a new vase. This can help refresh the energy and aesthetic appeal of your dried flower arrangement.
