Here are some tips I have tried over the years to keep cut flowers fresh. They work really well!
Ingredients
- * A few drops of household bleach added to the water prevents the water from becoming stagnant and doesn't hurt the blooms. shopping list
- * You can put a small piece of charcoal in the water to keep it fresh. shopping list
- * If you are using a wide-necked vase, use scotch tape to form a grid of squares over the top. This will help hold the flowers in position. shopping list
- * If you have short or broken stems that you don't want to throw away, slip them into drinking straws cut to the required length. shopping list
- * Pick flowers in the garden during the cool of the morning or evening and choose buds or half-open blooms. shopping list
- * Cut flower stems at an angle under cold running water. shopping list
How to make it
- * A sugar cube in cold water will keep flowers fresh and keep the water clean for two t three days.
- * Daffodils will last longer if cut above the withe stem base and they are put in very cold water in a cool place for an hour. Add a copper penny or copper coin to the water and keep them away from heat.
- * Cut anemone stems at an angle, submerge them up to their necks for an hour or two until the texture of the flowers is firm. Add 2 Tbsp vinegar to 2 cups of water in the vase.
- * To make tulips last longer, poke a series of holes down the length of the stem using a needle.
- * To revive droopy tulips, wrap them in newspaper and plunge them up to their necks in cold water over night.
