How to best care for fresh cut flowers?

  • Cut their stems and turn the direction of the flowers180 degrees: This is especially needed for tulips and other long stemmed flowers that grow and turn to the light.
  • Display them in a cool location without breeze or constant direct sunlight.
I love these hanging vases from Bolla on the left. What a creative idea! And growing your own flowers in a pot is for sure the best option in cute pots.
As I've posted yesterday, Spring is a time of wonderfully colorful and scentful flowers. It's great to have a vase of flowers in your home. To get the best mileage out of your fresh cut flowers and enjoy them even more, a few simple tricks help.


  • Check your flowers daily and remove the dry ones along with adding fresh water into the vase every day.
  • If the water is not clear, change it completely and add new additional flower solution (mostly powder that comes with the bunch)
