Home Care Tips

Here are some tips to make your flowers last longer. Before arranging and transferring your flowers to a pretty vase trim about an inch off the bottom of them stems. This will make sure your flowers are able to absorb water. Remember to keep your stems in water as much as possible and transfer them to fresh clean water every couple of days. If you have commercial flower food add it to the water each time. If you don’t have access to flower food you can add a splash of Sprite, Sierra Mist or 7up to the water. Any clear soda will do so long as it is regular, not diet. As some flowers start to wilt, take them out to make the others last longer.  If all your flowers are looking too sad to be on display, don’t worry, you can come back to the garden and pick some more!
