Cut Flower Care Tips
Use blooms that have just opened, and include some buds
Pick early in the morning or evening, so the stems are less likely to wilt
Make a clean cut with shears or a sharp knife just above a side branch on which another bloom is forming
Remove some of the leaves, and place the stems in WARM water, not cold, as soon as possible
Take a container of warm water to the cutting garden, so you can place the stems in it right away
Let your freshly cut blooms stand for about two hours in the coolest part of your house before arranging
Remove any leaves that will be below the waterline in your vases to prevent decay and contamination
Trim the stems using a sharp knife to be sure the cells of the stem are not compressed, which restricts water intake
If using preservatives, add them right away, by putting them in the container of water you take to the garden
When arranging your flowers, use only clean containers that are free of dirt or decay from previous flowers
Add fresh WARM water every day, and if you have time, give them completely fresh water every day
If you’re using a preservative, just add WARM water daily to replace what’s been used
Try to keep your cutflower arrangements out of strong sunlight and drafts
