Maintaining the beauty of your floral arrangements is essential to ensure they look fresh and vibrant throughout your event. At Secret Garden, we provide expert tips to help you care for your flowers.
Tips for Maintaining Floral Arrangements:
1. Proper Hydration:
Ensure your flowers have plenty of water. Check the water level daily and add fresh water as needed. Change the water every two days to prevent bacterial growth.
2. Clean Containers:
Use clean vases or containers to avoid contamination. Wash them thoroughly with soap and water before arranging the flowers.
3. Trim Stems:
Trim the stems at an angle before placing them in water. This allows better water absorption. Re-trim the stems every few days to keep them fresh.
4. Remove Foliage:
Remove any leaves that will be submerged in water. Foliage in water can cause bacterial growth and reduce the lifespan of your flowers.
5. Keep Cool:
Flowers last longer in cool temperatures. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in drafty areas.
6. Use Floral Preservatives:
Add floral preservatives to the water to provide nutrients and inhibit bacterial growth. These can be purchased from florists or garden centers.
7. Avoid Ethylene Gas:
Keep flowers away from fruits and vegetables, as they release ethylene gas, which accelerates wilting.
8. Mist the Flowers:
Lightly mist the flowers with water to keep them hydrated and looking fresh, especially in dry environments.
Why Maintenance Matters:
Proper maintenance ensures your floral arrangements remain beautiful and vibrant throughout your event. It also extends the lifespan of your flowers, allowing you to enjoy them longer.
