How to Make Fresh Flowers Last Longer

At Goshen Flower (goshen.ae), we take pride in delivering the freshest and most beautiful blooms. With just a little care and attention, you can help your flowers stay vibrant and last much longer. Follow these simple tips to keep your flowers fresh and lovely.

Pro Tip

To ensure maximum freshness, many of our flowers are delivered in a 'bud' form. This allows them to bloom fully in your home and extend their lifespan. Please allow 1-3 days for your buds to open and showcase their full beauty.

Essential Flower Care Tips

1. Start with a Clean Vase

• Remove any plastic or wrapping as soon as possible.
• Trim about half an inch from the stems at an angle to ensure they absorb water effectively.
• Place your flowers in a clean vase filled with room-temperature water.

2. Keep the Water Fresh

• Change the water every 2-3 days to keep bacteria from building up.
• Refill the vase regularly to ensure the stems are always submerged.
• Remove any wilting leaves or petals and trim the stems slightly with each water change.

3. Avoid Sunlight and Heat

• Place your flowers in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heaters, or other heat sources.
• This slows down the aging process and keeps your flowers fresher for longer.

4. Use Flower Food

• Add a flower food packet to the water to provide essential nutrients.
• Alternatively, make your own flower food:
  • Ingredients: 1 teaspoon sugar, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon bleach, and 1 quart of warm water.
• Note: Avoid adding flower food to vases with zinnias, sunflowers, or gladioluses, as they thrive better without it.

5. Trim Stems with a Sharp Knife

• Use a sharp knife to cut stems at an angle. This prevents crushing and allows for better water absorption.
• Avoid using scissors, as they can damage the stems.

6. Keep Flowers Away from Harmful Gases

• Do not place flowers near ripening fruits or cigarette smoke. Ethylene gas from fruit and smoke can shorten their lifespan.
