As we enter the new spring season, it’s time to refresh our homes with beautiful floral arrangements.

Optimizing your Spring Flowers: Tips for Longevity
When arranging a beautiful spring bouquet, ensuring the longevity of your flowers is essential. Follow these tips to keep your blooms fresh and vibrant for as long as possible.
Trimming the lower leaves
It is crucial to remove all leaves that will come into contact with the water in the vase. Using a knife to remove them is the best method to prevent the leaves from rotting.
Cutting flower stems
To ensure optimal water absorption, use a knife to cut the stems at an angle. This tip is particularly useful for woody stems like roses, but not recommended for tulips.
Finding the perfect spot
Avoid placing a spring bouquet in direct sunlight. Instead, look for a cool, slightly shaded area. Also, refrain from placing them near a radiator or fruit basket to maintain freshness.
