Keep flowers away from direct sunlight, heat and air sources, dust, and ripening fruit, all of these factors can reduce the lifespan of the flower. Flowers prefer cooler and shaded areas.
If the flower is in a floral form arrangement, do not unwrap the flower. Just add water to the floral form daily so that the foam is kept wet and the flowers will remain hydrated. With proper maintenance, your flower may last longer in flower foam than in a vase.
If your flower is in a spiral hand-tied bouquet, keep the spiral hand-tied bouquet wrapping design and keep your spiral hand-tied bouquet in the water bag, just add water to the water bag so that the flower will remain hydrated. Or gently unwrap the spiral hand-tied bouquet. Do not cut the tie, keep the bouquet tied to preserve the bouquet's floristic design. Please be sure that the vase is one hundred percent clean to avoid bacteria that can reduce the lifespan of the flower. Add flower food or sugar into the vase and add fresh water, giving all stems 2 cm fresh cut angle with sharp scissors or knife from the base of each stem. And place the bouquet into the vase. Or you may cut the bouquet ties and arrange them as you like. Change the water and mist the flower daily and recut the stems every 2 days this allows the flower to better absorb the water.
How to preserve a hand bouquet?
Hang the hand bouquet upside down. This can take up to three weeks, so ensure the location is a dry, warm place. Once completely dried, you can display them or create something artistic like a wreath! Dried flowers can last an average of one year.
