Fresh Flower Preservation Tips: The Secret to Extending Flower Life

Flowers are treasures of nature, but their lifespan is relatively short. To extend the lifespan of flowers and make their beauty and fragrance more lasting, we can take some simple and practical tips.
1、 Purchasing and pre-processing
Choosing healthy flowers: When choosing flowers, pay attention to whether the color of the flowers is bright, whether the petals are intact and undamaged, and whether the stems are straight. Avoid choosing flowers that are too mature or about to wither.
Pre processing flowers: Cut off the bottom of the flowers by a few millimeters and cut them at a 45 degree angle to help them absorb moisture better. At the same time, remove the leaves from the lower part of the stem to prevent them from rotting in water.
2、 Water quality and temperature
Use clean water: Ensure that the water in the vase is clean and free of impurities, and avoid using chlorine gas in tap water to harm the flowers. Mineral water or purified water can be used.
Control water temperature: Provide suitable water temperature for flowers, preferably using warm water to avoid using too hot or too cold water. Warm water can help flowers absorb water faster, maintaining softness and color.
3、 Regular water replacement and trimming
Regular water change: Change the water in the vase every 1-2 days and trim the bottom of the stem again during the water change. This can ensure that the flowers are always in their best condition and extend the shelf life.
Pruning flower stems: Each time the water is changed, trim a small section of the bottom of the flower stems again to remove the rotten parts and promote the formation of new water absorption ports.
4、 Avoiding adverse factors
Avoid direct sunlight: Place the vase away from direct sunlight to prevent the flowers from wilting too quickly.
Stay away from ventilation and air conditioning vents: These areas have strong airflow, which can easily cause flowers to dry and wither.
Avoid contact between flowers and fruits: Fruits release ethylene gas, which accelerates the withering and decay of flowers.
5、 Using preservatives and sugar
Using preservatives: Add an appropriate amount of fresh flower preservatives to the vase water. These preservatives usually contain nutrients and preservatives, which can extend the freshness period of the flowers.
Adding sugar: Regularly adding a few drops of white sugar to the vase water can increase the sugar content in the water, help the bottom cut of the flower better absorb water, and prevent the flower from withering due to lack of water.
6、 Ventilation and Moisturizing
Maintain ventilation: Ensure that the environment where flowers are placed has a certain degree of ventilation to prevent them from rotting due to lack of oxygen.
Spray water appropriately: Use a watering can every morning and evening to spray some clean water on the flowers and leaves, increase air humidity, and help maintain the freshness of the flowers.
By following the above flower preservation tips, we can keep flowers beautiful and fresh for a longer period of time. Whether it’s for home decoration or as a gift to family and friends, it can make this natural gift more enduring and convey love and beauty.
