That is why in this article we have decided to share with you some proven secrets and tips that will help you prolong the life of your flowers and enjoy their beauty for longer.
Flower Selection
At Persa Flores, we understand that the quality of a floral arrangement begins with the selection of the right flowers. By choosing fresh, quality flowers, we ensure a solid foundation for the durability and long-lasting beauty of our arrangements. At our flower shop , we source from reliable suppliers who provide us with a wide variety of fresh flowers, from classic roses to exotic orchids.
Choose your flowers well
It is important to keep in mind that not all flowers have the same durability. Some varieties, such as chrysanthemums or alstroemerias, are known for their longevity, while others, such as lilacs or tulips , can wilt more quickly. Our team at Persa Flores is trained to help you select the most suitable flowers based on your needs and preferences, ensuring that your floral arrangements last as long as possible.
Check its freshness
In addition to choosing fresh, long-lasting flowers, it is important to consider other factors when purchasing flowers. Observing the overall appearance of the flowers, checking the freshness of the stems, and ensuring there are no signs of wilting or damage are key things to keep in mind. At Persa Flores, we strive to offer our customers the freshest and most beautiful bouquets, so that they can enjoy their beauty for a long time after bringing a bouquet of flowers home.
Preparation of the Container and Water
The first essential step to ensure the longevity of your flowers is to ensure that the vase or vase is clean and free of any debris or bacteria.
At Persa Flores, we recommend washing the container with hot water and mild soap before each use, making sure to rinse it completely to remove any soap residue that may be harmful to the flowers. It is also important to dry the vase well to avoid the proliferation of bacteria that can shorten the life of your flowers.
Choice of water type
The type of water you use for your flowers can have a significant impact on their durability. We recommend using warm or room temperature water to prevent the flowers from being stressed by a sudden change in temperature. Additionally, if your tap water contains high levels of chlorine or other chemicals, consider using filtered water or distilled water to prolong the life of your flowers.
Add nutrients to extend flower life
To keep your flowers fresh and vibrant for longer, it is important to provide them with the right nutrients. You can add special flower nutrients to the vase water. These nutrients will help feed the flowers and keep them hydrated, prolonging their lifespan and beauty, along with sunlight.
Simply follow the manufacturer's tricks to ensure you add the right amount of nutrients to keep your flowers fresh. With these simple steps, you can prepare the container and water properly to ensure the longevity and beauty of your flowers, leaves, and stem.
Be careful when cutting flowers
At Persa Flores, we know that care when cutting stems is crucial to prolong the life of your flowers. We recommend using sharp scissors or a clean knife to make the cuts, as dull tools can crush the stems and make it difficult for water to be absorbed. Additionally, it is important to cut the stems at an angle to increase the water absorption surface and allow the flowers to hydrate more efficiently thanks to this.
Optimal cutting angle and length
When cutting your flower stems once, make sure to do so at about a 45-degree angle. This angle helps prevent the stems from becoming clogged at the bottom of the vase, allowing water to circulate freely and reach the flowers more effectively. Also, cut the stems long enough to reach the bottom of the vase, but not so long that they touch the bottom, which could block water absorption.
Removal of submerged leaves and branches
Before placing your flowers in the vase, remove any leaves or branches that are submerged in the water. Submerged leaves and branches can decompose in water, creating bacteria that can accelerate the deterioration of your flowers. At Persa Flores, we recommend removing at least the leaves and lower branches to keep the water as clean as possible and prolong the freshness of your flowers.
Location and Temperature
Where you place your vase can have a significant impact on the durability of your flowers. We recommend choosing a cool location away from heat sources, such as radiators or appliances. Also, avoid placing your flowers near ripe fruits, as the ethylene gas they give off can accelerate the ripening and wilting process of the flowers.
Avoid direct sunlight and drafts
Although flowers like light, direct sun exposure can accelerate their wilting. At Persa Flores, we recommend placing your flowers in a place with indirect light to prolong their lifespan. Also, avoid placing your flowers in drafty areas, as this can dehydrate the flowers and cause them to wilt more quickly.
Maintain optimal room temperature
Maintaining a constant room temperature is key to maintaining the freshness of your flowers. At Persa Flores, we recommend keeping your flowers in a cool place with an ambient temperature of approximately 18-22°C. Avoid placing your flowers near sources of heat or air conditioning, as sudden changes in temperature can stress the flowers and shorten their lifespan. With these simple placement and temperature care , you can ensure your flowers stay fresh and vibrant for longer.
Conclusion
We invite you to apply this knowledge in your daily life and experience the joy of having fresh and radiant flowers in your home or special event. At Persa Flores, we are committed to providing you with the best flowers and the best service, so you can enjoy the magic of flowers in all its splendor.
