Ways to Keep Flowers Fresh for Longer
Experts note bruised stalks from cutting cause wilting. String a fine wire at the stem end, pad with damp cotton or moss, place in tepid water with charcoal in each vase, and in half an hour blooms revive. Regularly mist or rinse, trim stems daily, and use tepid water. For bouquets, water or overhead spray under a bell, or lever into water if tied with long stems. Capillary action and steam methods also help restore freshness.
