Trim the stems using garden shears and trim one to two inches off and cut at an angle. Cutting stems in an angle allows better water intake since they are sitting flat on the bottom of a vase. Re-cutting is required every few days. <\/p>\n<div id=\"blog-all-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/flower-gifts-blog\/cut-off-the-stems.jpg\" alt=\"Cut-Off The Stems\" title=\"Cut-Off The Stems\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">Go For Pruning<\/h2>\n<p>Remove any leaves below the water line is typically known as pruning. This will not only make your bouquet look better but also prevent bacterial growth. Flowers like roses have guard petals which are the two or three outermost petals of the flower. Later, check the flowers for dead leaves or loose petals to avoid bacterial rot. <\/p>\n<div id=\"blog-all-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/flower-gifts-blog\/go-for-pruning.jpg\" alt=\"Go For Pruning\" title=\"Go For Pruning\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">Watering<\/h2>\n<p>It is not only important to keep your bouquet hydrated but also do it wisely. The flowers won\u2019t last long without water especially when their stems have been cut. Pick a clean vase and fill it with water at room temperature and add a packet of flower food. Ensure that the packet has been mixed properly. Also, clean the vase thoroughly and change the flower food every two or three days. <\/p>\n<div id=\"blog-all-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/flower-gifts-blog\/watering-flowers-fresh-vase.jpg\" alt=\"Watering\" title=\"Watering\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">Avoid Direct Sunlight<\/h2>\n<p>If you are wondering how to keep flowers fresh in a vase, keep them in cool temperatures. Avoid displaying the flowers in direct sunlight or near appliances that generate heat. Also avoid keeping your vase in areas like open windows, ceiling fans or heating or cooling vents. Also, do not display the bouquet near a fruit as ripening fruits release tiny amounts of ethylene gas which can reduce the longevity of your fresh arrangement.<\/p>\n<div id=\"blog-all-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/flower-gifts-blog\/avoid-direct-sunlight.jpg\" alt=\"Avoid Direct Sunlight\" title=\"Avoid Direct Sunlight\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sweet\">Use Apple Cider Vinegar and Sugar<\/h2>\n<p>Mix 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons of water into the vase before adding the flowers. This way, you can keep your flowers fresh for no less than 7 days. As vinegar acts as an antibacterial agent while the sugar acts as additional flower food you can use them to keep your flowers fresh in a vase. <\/p>\n<div id=\"blog-all-images\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/floweraura-blog-img.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/flower-gifts-blog\/use-apple-cider-vinegar-sugar.jpg\" alt=\"Use Apple Cider Vinegar and Sugar\" title=\"Use Apple Cider Vinegar and Sugar\" \/><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tricks and tips to follow if you are wondering how to make vase flowers last longer.
