How to Keep Your Flowers Fresh and Vibrant?

To make your summer bouquet last longer and maintain that vibrant, fresh look, follow these simple care tips:

Trim the stems:
Before placing your flowers in water, trim the stems at an angle with a sharp knife. This increases the surface area for water absorption.
Choose the right vase:
Select a vase that is appropriately sized for your bouquet and provides adequate water depth. The stems should be fully submerged, with enough room for air circulation.
Refresh the water daily:
Changing the water every day and adding flower food is crucial. Flower food contains nutrients and an antibacterial agent that keeps the water clean and prevents bacterial growth, which can shorten your bouquet's lifespan. Ask your sales representative on Ecuador Direct Roses for more information regarding the use of flower food.
Avoid direct sunlight:
Keep your bouquet away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources, which can cause flowers to wilt quickly.  A cool, well-lit location is ideal.

Remove wilted blooms:
Regularly remove any wilting or dead flowers from the bouquet. They can release ethylene gas, which can hasten the wilting of other blooms.
 

Extra Tips:
Re-cut stems: Every few days, re-trim the stems slightly to encourage water uptake.
Rotate your bouquet:   Turn the vase periodically to ensure all sides of the flowers receive even light and hydration.
Don't crowd your bouquet:   Ensure adequate spacing between flowers to promote air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.
