Cut Flower Tips • Choose flowers that are almost mature as they will ensure a longer cut life. • Cut flowers in the morning or early evening when the plant's moisture and nutrient content are highest. • Immerse the stems immediately in a deep container of very warm water. Flowers that grow from bulbs prefer cool water. • Place flowers in a dark, cool spot before arranging in vase to allow time for conditioning. • Re-cut the stems about 2 inches underwater using a sharp knife. By cutting stems under water, the stem is sealed with water and air cannot clog the stem cells. • Cut stems diagonally to prevent them from resting flat on the bottom of the container. • Use a clean vase with fresh warm water. • Mix a floral preservative in the water. • No foliage should be below the water line in the vase. • Keep flowers away from excessive heat or cold, direct sunlight or draughts as will increase transpiration or wilting. • Refresh water every 2-3 days • Misting the flowers, helps to prolong their life.

Make Your Own Floral Water Preservative     Try this home made recipe for a floral preservative. For an average-sized vase mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sugar with the water. Mix thoroughly. The vinegar will slow the growth of the scum that develops on the surface of the water. The sugar will feed the flowers. You can also use a lemon-lime soda mixed into equal parts with water for a preservative. The sugar will feed the flowers, and the acid in the lemon-lime will help prevent bacteria from forming.
