🌼 Vase Arrangements: Keep Your Blooms Fresh and Fabulous! 🌼
1. Trim Those Stems: Even if your flowers come in a vase, gently pluck out the really special blooms and give them a little trim every few days. Hot tip: gently roll the stem back and forth between your thumb and index finger to help take it out without damage.
2. Swap Out the Water: Change the water every 2-3 days to keep things clean and fresh. Just use room temperature water and make sure the stems are covered but not too high— Soggy leaves in your water = bad.
3. Watch the Water Levels: Make sure there’s enough water to cover the stems but not so much that it drowns the leaves. Keeping leaves above the waterline stops them from rotting and keeps your arrangement looking fab.
4. Remove the Wilting Blooms: If any flowers naturally start to wilt, take them out. This helps keep the rest of your blooms looking vibrant and gorgeous. Hot tip : There’s no need to toss these blooms if you absolutely love them. Play around with drying different flowers (if that’s your thing, of course).
5. Environment: Place your vase somewhere cool and away from direct sunlight or heaters. Flowers dig a stable, cooler spot—no hot and bothered blooms here!
6. Spritz for Extra Freshness: Every now and then, give those petals a light misting. It’s like a refreshing drink for your flowers, especially if your space is on the dry side.
7. Clean the Vase: Every few days, rinse out the vase with warm, soapy water. It keeps things hygienic and your flowers happy. Hot tip : A small capful of bleach (yes, bleach) will help to keep your water clean and bacteria at bay so that your flowers can thrive longer.
