Additional Tips for Preserving Blooms

To ensure your cut flowers thrive, remove any leaves from the stem that will be submerged in water, as they prefer dry leaves. Place vases out of direct sunlight and keep them away from bananas, which can emit ethylene gas that may shorten flower lifespan.

Change the water daily and nourish your blooms with a floral preservative.
