The flowers we receive on this special day frequently wither after only a few days. That is why we have compiled a list of tips to help them live longer.
It may appear that simply placing the roses and other flowers in a vase with some water will keep them alive, but this is not the case. Certain precautions must be taken to ensure that the roses remain in good condition and can be enjoyed for a few more days.
Remove packaging and decorations
Sant Jordi roses are typically wrapped in plastic, cellophane, or satin paper. One of the first steps in proper care is to remove this material so that the flower is not constrained and can continue its natural process.
Trim the stems
Second, the stem should be cut diagonally by one or two centimetres to increase the surface area through which the flower can hydrate. This will increase its chances of remaining fresh and alive. This step should be repeated on a regular basis because plants and flowers have a tendency to heal the cuts and prevent them from absorbing water.
You need a good pair of pruning shears in order to make a precise cut without harming the flower. Do not try to complete the task using different types of scissors if you lack this tool. If you don’t have them, to make a precise cut without tearing, it is best to use a sharp kitchen knife with a smooth edge.
Pick a good vase
Choosing a vase that keeps the flowers upright and can hold water is more important than choosing a pretty jar for the flowers. The most crucial thing is to make sure it is clean and won’t contaminate the water when the roses are placed in it.
Remove leaves and petals
Make sure to take out the leaves that will be submerged before putting the roses in the water once the vase is prepared and the water level is visible. By doing this, the leaves won’t rot, pollute the water, or harm the flowers. Additionally, it’s critical to get rid of withered petals before they start to mould.
Proper care
The roses need daily attention and care in order to try to keep them alive and looking good for as long as possible. To keep the water clean and prevent the buildup of bacteria, it must be changed frequently.
If you have a bouquet of roses that has several flowers in it, it’s important to keep an eye on it and remove any blooms that are beginning to decay so that the bouquet will last as long as possible.
Cut flowers always have a short lifespan, which is a sad fact. Therefore, if you genuinely want your roses to last longer, it is preferable to imply that you would prefer to receive a plant as a gift rather than a bouquet of flowers so you can enjoy the roses for a longer period of time.
