The journey to maintaining fresh flowers begins with selecting the right blooms. Opt for flowers that are known for their longevity and resilience. For example, Carnation - Special Color and Rose are beautiful picks that offer both elegance and durability.
2. Cut and Condition
Once you have your flowers, it's crucial to condition them correctly:
- Trim the stems at an angle to enhance water uptake.
- Use clean, sharp scissors or a knife to prevent crushing the stems.
