FLOWER AFTER CARE
Changing The Water Daily
Flowers are highly susceptible to bacteria that builds up as stems sit in the water. By changing the water in the vase every few days, even if the water hasn’t been used up, will help keep your flowers fresh longer (and avoid that horrid rotten smell that develops if you let them sit a long time).
Cutting Your Stems
Remove 1 inch from the stem end with a sharp knife and cut on the angle. Do not use scissors or crush the stem – this prevents the Flowers from taking up water. Stand in a deep vase filled with water with the flower food added.
Rose Care
If the rose head flops, cut off the stem end as above and stand the rose in 1 inch of boiling water as soon as possible. Keep the roses away from draughts, fruit, the cooler the room the longer they will last.
