How to Make Cut Flowers Last Longer in a Vase

Do you love getting pretty flowers?

When flowers are cut, they need a little extra care to stay fresh.

First, make sure your vase is clean.

A dirty vase has germs that make flowers fade faster.

Before putting flowers in water, cut the stems at an angle so they can drink better.

Take off any leaves that would sit under the water.

Leaves underwater can turn slimy and grow germs.

Change the water every couple of days and rinse the vase.

Keep flowers in a cool, bright place away from hot sunlight and warm appliances.

Remove flowers that start to wilt so the rest of the bouquet stays pretty.
