Antaeus Flowers

Every colour of the flower-like Yellow, Red, Blue, Pink, etc. looks amazing. All these colours are quite popular & widely used in arranging corporate flowers, anniversary flowers, birthday flowers, and event flowers in Melbourne.…

 

However, to maintain the beauty and freshness of these vibrant coloured flowers, one needs to follow particular guidelines described by expert florists. When I bought some flowers from my florist, he suggested a few tips by which the longevity of flowers can be increased.

 

 

I found all the instructions quite useful and I thought to share this information with those who love to keep the freshness of flowers for a long time. Below are the tips provided by the best florist in Melbourne to increase the life of these perishable goods.

 

• First and the foremost tip is that always choose a clean vase and freshwater to keep your flowers. After that, keep on adding flower food or sugar to the water to provide some nutrients to the plants.
• When it comes to choosing a vase for your flowers, always opt for glass or plastic ones as these do not react with flowers. A metal vase could reduce the life span of the flowers because of the chemicals that it has.
• If flowers could be given the maximum exposure to the clean water for more absorption then it is advisable to cut the stems of the flowers on an angle with sharp scissors. 
• To get the maximum amount of flower life, re-cutting of flowers stems and changing its water every 2-3 days is recommended by the florist who offers the best flower delivery in Melbourne.
• To keep the bacteria at bay, it would be wise to remove any bruised or dis-coloured leaves or petals. Moreover, the leaves that are below the waterline of the vase must also be removed to discourage the growth of bacteria. If these petals or leaves allowed remaining in vase water, then it encourages the break down the flower cells.

 

• Another crucial tip is to keep the flowers in cooler spots rather than the extreme temperatures. As the cooler is the area, the longer your flowers will last. However, make sure not to freeze your flowers.
• Direct sunlight and exposure to drafts such as heating or cooling vents, direct drafts, tops of appliances, etc. can also decrease the lifespan of flowers.

 

All of the above are some of the useful techniques that many florists opt to make the flowers last longer. Just a small effort and you can enjoy the freshness and brightness of flowers for a longer duration.
