Tips to lengthen the freshness of your Flowers

Just do what you do to maintain your own freshness. Proper supply of Water and Food, controlled Temperature, regular Trimming of harmful growth are the keys to keep yourself fit and fresh for a longer period of time.Your flowers need just the same from you. And if you just follow the golden rule of morality, like for others what you like for thyself, the fragrance and beauty of your lovely flowers would entertain you miraculously more than usual.

This WFTT formula does wonders in the context of flower care. Reasonable amount of food should be added to the water in the vase. It should be proportionate to the amount of water neither more nor less.

As to what might be an ideal food for your plant is something that is not yet suggested with hundred percent assurances. But flowers care-takers, o­n the basis of their observation and experience, recommend that some sugar solvent is best to feed your flowers, it could be ready-made powders available at florist shop or beverages like 7–up, Sprite, Limca or the likes. Some have suggested and tried even drug like aspirin to serve the purpose and it has worked. The basic idea behind this is to check harmful elements like bacteria to cause any sort of damage to your tiny flowers. The flowers differ from human body a bit. Human body needs supply of vitamins in the form of food to keep fresh and fit but the flowers have their own in-built kitchen to make food for themselves. What they need is protection against bacteria and this is done by sugar solvents. To check the bacteria it is also suggested to clean the vase carefully with detergent soaps or good quality washing powder.

The water-food mixture needs to be regularly replaced as soon as it becomes dirty or filthy.

As a man in extreme temperature can not retain his freshness so do the flowers. They need climate suitable to their nature. They remain fresh in a temperature between 65 Fahrenheit to 75 Fahrenheit. The sunrays should not fall directly o­n them, nor do they like to remain anywhere near TV sets or anything that is the source of radiation as these affect their water in-take and they loose freshness. They love comparatively cooler climate. So put them in a cooler place till they find their way in the vase, even damp cloths are good to wrap them in o­n their way from florist to your home since it helps to retain their freshness.

The freshness of human body is affected when it has unnatural hair growth and so it needs trimming or cutting off what is unnecessary. In almost similar manner some leaves in the vase stale and droop down their heads below the water line. This is a signal that trimming is required or else they will interfere with the water in-take of the fresher leaves and affect the duration of living. To give your flowers beautiful looks cut stems from o­ne to two inches. Do not forget to use a sharp knife.
