Valentine's Day is a special occasion when many people show their love and affection to their partners by giving them flowers. If you're planning to give your loved one a bouquet of flowers this Valentine's Day, it's important to make sure that they stay fresh and beautiful for as long as possible. Here are some tips for maintaining your Valentine's Day flowers from your local florist in Longfield serving Dartford and Gravesend areas.
-
Start by cutting the stems of your flowers at an angle. This allows them to absorb water more easily and helps them stay fresh longer.
-
Make sure to remove any leaves that will be below the water line, as these can rot and cause bacteria to grow in the vase.
-
Use fresh, cool water in the vase and add a flower food according to the package instructions. Flower food helps keep the flowers hydrated and can also help prevent bacteria from growing.
-
Keep your flowers away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts, which can cause the flowers to wilt.
-
Re-cut the stems and change the water every two days to keep your flowers fresh.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your Valentine's Day flowers stay fresh and beautiful for as long as possible. And don't forget to your perfect bouquet now! Happy Valentine's Day!
