Choosing the Right Vase for Your Flowers

Flowers bought in boxes and in vases last longer than hand-made bouquets. Selecting the perfect vase enhances not only the beauty of your arrangement but also its longevity. Different flowers have different needs. Tall flowers like roses and lilies need taller vases for proper support, while wide blooms like hydrangeas do well in shorter, broader vases. The size, shape, and material of the vase are important to help maintain the flowers' hydration and prevent bacteria growth.

To keep your flowers fresh for 1-2 weeks, make a fresh cut of flowers every 2-3 days and change the water, check the water level daily and replenish as necessary.  Or use a flower box with floral foam specifically designed for fresh flowers. The best florist soaks the foam in water mixed with flower food to help retain moisture and nutrients. You have to check the water level daily and replenish as necessary. 

Fresh water is the key to keep flowers fresh.

Proper watering is the cornerstone of flower care. For cut flowers, change the water in your vase every two days and trim the stems at a 45-degree angle to allow for better water absorption. Potted flowers, like peonies and lilies, require more frequent watering, while succulents or cacti need less. Always monitor the moisture of the soil and adjust your watering schedule to the needs of your specific flowers.

Temperature and Sunlight: Key Factors

Want to enjoy your flowers for longer? Using a floral preservative can significantly extend the life of your arrangement. Miami Flower Store, we recommend these preservatives to add nutrients and prevent bacterial growth, keeping your flowers fresh. Another trick is to remove leaves that will be submerged in water to prevent decay.

If you're looking to rearranging your flowers, condition them by trimming the stems, hydrating them, and allowing them to sit in water overnight. This will help them absorb more water and stay fresh for an extended period.
