How to Create Beautiful, Money-Saving Day Flowers

Some great grocery flower options include mums, daisies, carnations, lilies, or aster bouquets.

Select buds just ready to pop: They’ll last longest.

Cut the tips of the stems at a sharp 45° angle just before putting them in a water-filled vase.

If a bunch arrives at awkward lengths, cut them to one uniform height. Place blooms at different heights if that suits your vase.

Remove most foliage on stem tips; you don’t want leaves in the water. Some leaves submerged or near the rim are fine

Add floral preservative to the water (usually found near fresh flowers at the store and also online) It nourishes blossoms. Change water every other day for ultimate longevity.

Keep blooms away from sun, drafts, and heat from an oven or radiator— they drain blossoms of life . A cool but not chilling temperature works best—the fridge between use can extend blossoms lives but check on them to enjoy while still beautiful and not past their prime

With the above tips, enjoy lovely long-lasting fresh blooms in your home
