Tips to extend the life of your fresh cut flowers when making your bouquet in a vase.
  • Make sure that you always use a sharp knife when cutting flowers & slice a 45 degree angle.
  • Remove all lower foliage that would sit in the water which also prevents the water from smelling bad.
  • Use lukewarm water & change the water every 2 days also cutting a couple of inches off the stems.
  • Be sure to keep the flowers out of direct sunlight.


In addition try one of these 3 ways for life extension.
    1. Crush one aspirin & add to the water before placing your flowers into the water
    2. Add a spoon full of sugar to the water and mix well before placing flowers into the   water.

    3. Try a copper penny, drop it into the bottom of the water before placing flowers into the water.
    Have fun & remember to keep your bouquet away from the sun;)
