How to Care for Cut Flowers in the Vase

There are a few simple yet very important steps to take when you bring your flowers in from the field or home from the market.

  1. Have a clean bucket or vase prepared with fresh cool water 3/4 full.

  2. Unwrap or remove your flowers from their original vessel and ensure all of the lower foliage from the stems is removed.

  3. Recut your stems on an angle and plunge then straight into fresh water.

  4. Give them an hour or so to hydrate or “condition” before arranging them into a design.

  5. Change the water every other day making sure to clean the vase well at the same time

  6. Keep your flowers out of direct sunlight and gaze at them as often as possible.
