Want to keep your flower bouquet as long as possible?
It's true that cut flowers tend to wilt quickly.
And it's a shame to throw away a bouquet after a few days!
Fortunately, my florist gave me an effective grandmother's trick to make my bouquets of flowers last much longer.
The trick to keep your flowers beautiful, is to put a little baking soda in the water of the vase . Watch:
1. Fill the vase with water.
2. Add a pinch of baking soda to the water.
3. Put your flowers in the water as usual.
And now, thanks to this trick, you will make your bouquet of flowers last much longer :-)
It's simple, effective and economical!
And it's still much prettier to have beautiful flowers with bright colors, rather than having all faded flowers, isn't it?
Especially if you have been offered a beautiful bouquet of roses or a magnificent bubble bouquet.
And know that this trick even works to extend the life of a bouquet of poppies!
This is also the only solution to keep a bouquet of poppies longer.
Bicarbonate is a natural antifungal and antibacterial.
It thus limits the proliferation of bacteria in the water and prevents the water from stagnating.
This keeps the flower water clean longer, which is good for cut flowers.
In addition, it helps keep the pH of the water at an optimal and slightly alkaline value. Perfect for flowers!
- Adapt the amount of baking soda to the size of the vase. For a small vase, simply put a pinch of baking soda. In a medium-sized vase, add a teaspoon of baking soda. If the vase is large, put a tablespoon of baking soda.
- To keep your flowers longer, cut their stems at an angle so that the surface in contact with the water is greater.
- Remember to change the flower water every 2 days, or even every day, always adding a little baking soda each time.
- Trim the stems a little each time you change the water in the vase.
- Wipe the stems by passing a cloth over the stems, at each change of water.
- Place your bouquet away from drafts, the sun, heat and certain fruits which produce ethylene and promote rotting, especially bananas.
