Keep your bouquet fresh and in good condition for as long as possible.
- Trimming the stems: For roses, it is essential to trim the stems immediately upon arrival, preferably by 1.5 cm, with a diagonal cut. Roses are woody plants and require the largest possible surface area to absorb water. Make a longer cut to improve water absorption and prevent the roses from drooping too quickly.
- Removing dry parts: If the stem is dried out, it must be trimmed even further to allow water to flow freely to the flowers.
- Lukewarm water and nutrient supplement: After trimming, place the roses in lukewarm water as soon as possible and add the nutrient supplement that came with the bouquet. This supplement provides the flowers with essential nutrients that help them stay fresh and vibrant for a longer time.
- Sufficient water: Give your roses as much water as your vase allows. A lack of water is one of the main causes of roses wilting quickly.
By following these steps, your roses will remain beautiful and fresh for a longer time.
Things to keep in mind:
Cloudy water in the vase indicates bacterial growth, which can cause decay and speed up flower wilting. This may be due to high temperature or an unsuitable vase, but in any case, it is important to change the water immediately. The water in the vase should be replaced at least every two days. This prevents bacteria from forming and ensures that the flowers always have access to fresh water. With each water change, it is also advisable to trim the stems again, improving the flowers' ability to absorb water. Repeat this process just as you did when you first received the bouquet.
Thank you for taking care of your flowers and enjoying their beauty for longer.
