Receiving a bouquet of flowers can be the highlight of anyones day. Unfortunately, flowers will start to wilt after a day if they are not taken care of properly. The life of a bouquet of flowers can easily be extended by following an easy care plan. By taking care of your bouquet of flowers the correct way, you can enjoy their beauty for many days.
Things You'll Need
Bouquet of flowers
1 vase
Pair of scissors
Aspirin
Take the bouquet of flowers out of the wrapper that they came in. Cut the stems of the flowers on a diagonal. This will optimize the surface space that draws in fresh water for them.
Crush an over the counter aspirin and place it in the bottom of the vase. Arrange the bouquet of flowers in the vase.
Fill the vase with room temperature water to within an inch of the top.
Remove the flowers from the vase after a week. Dump the water out of the vase and wash it out thoroughly. Make sure that you rinse out all of the soap in the vase.
Cut the flowers a half inch from the original cut, on the diagonal. This will give the flowers a fresh cut in which to take in water. Crush an aspirin and place it in the vase and rearrange the flowers. Fill the vase with room temperature water.
Tips & Warnings
A bouquet of flowers will last 2 to 3 weeks if you repeat this process every week.
Flowers are a great way to decorate a space. You do not need to wait to be given flowers. Buy yourself a bouquet every month to dress up your living quarters.
Remove any dead flowers from your bouquet to keep it looking its best. There are certain flowers that will wilt much faster then others.
