Some of the Fresh cut flowers are like baby flowers—they need proper nourishment in terms of food and water to survive. Attention with care is required for them to bloom from harvest to final vase.

All cut flowers benefit from the nutrients in cut flower food when this is absorbed through the cut edge of the stems. Good flower food should always contain the following ingredients: Let us discuss how it helps.

• pH regulators

Proper care and flower food provides all the necessary ingredients for the full development of buds and blooms and helps to increase vase life by up to 60 percent, compared to water alone.

Some other personal care your Garden needs in this Hot weather

No matter the weather, your Garden always needs a little TLC: changing the water frequently, cutting the stems, removing leaves. Nevertheless, as it gets warmer, your Garden needs extra care. According, to my research, I am gonna share the best ways to keep your flowers fresh, so you get to enjoy them at home for longer! Cheers…

Here are five ways to keep your Flowers Flourishing

1. Just like us, flowers need to 'drink' more during the summer heat. On top of this, water tends to evaporate faster when it’s warm, leading to depleted vase water levels—and thirsty flowers!

Flower care: Keep your flowers looking fresh and hydrated, make sure your vase is always ⅓ full with clean water.

2. Hot weather speeds up bacteria growth in your vase, turning it cloudy and the bottom of your stems slimy—yuck. These conditions make for unhappy flowers.

Flower care: In warmer weather, refresh your vase water more frequently: every other day, instead of every three days. Anton, our floral stylist, suggests to, “Use lukewarm water. There’s less oxygen in it, reducing bacteria growth by around 85 percent."

3. Too much sun is no fun

We love it when the sun is out, but your flowers prefer to shine in the shade. Anton adds that “When it’s hot, moisture in the flowers’ petals and leave evaporates quickly. Direct sunlight then causes them to ‘burn’ and dry out."

Flower care: be conscious of where you put your bouquet at home. If it’s super sunny, think about moving it somewhere cooler at night. This helps them last.

4. A cool, consistent temperature

We’ve all done it—left all the windows shut when we go to work, leading to a pretty toasty welcome home, later on, only to open all the windows to cool it down, pronto. Warm or yo-yo-ing temperatures cause flowers to perish faster. Especially lilies, peonies, irises, and gladioli that don’t withstand heat as well.

Flower care: think of putting your flowers in a sheltered spot, keeping them away from open windows and drafty doors. Avoid blasting the air conditioning to cool a room quickly, too.

5. A fresh trim

You can help channel your flowers’ energy to the flower heads by removing some of the extra leaves on the stem—this also creates cleaner lines in your arrangement an accentuates the flowers.

Flower care: Remember to keep your stems hydrated by re-trimming your stems whenever you change the water. Remove extra leaves to let those flowers shine—with leafy stems like Eustoma (lisianthus), Celosia, chrysanthemums.
