Tips for Keeping Summer Flowers Fresh

Welcome to Flowers To Nepal (FTN), your premier destination for exquisite blooms in Kathmandu and beyond. As summer graces us with its warmth, it's essential to know how to keep your flowers fresh for as long as possible. Whether you're receiving a bouquet or planning to send one to a loved one, these simple tips will ensure that your flowers stay vibrant and beautiful in the scorching Nepali heat.

1. Proper Hydration:

Just like us, flowers need water to thrive. During the hot summer months, it's crucial to keep your flowers well-hydrated. Upon receiving your bouquet, trim the stems at an angle and place them in a clean vase filled with fresh water. Check the water levels daily and replenish as needed to prevent wilting.

2. Avoid Direct Sunlight:

While sunlight is essential for photosynthesis, direct sunlight can be harmful to delicate flowers, especially during the peak hours of the day. Place your vase in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight to prolong the life of your blooms.

3. Change the Water Regularly:

To maintain the freshness of your flowers, change the water in the vase every two days. Stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria, leading to premature wilting. By replacing the water regularly, you'll ensure that your flowers stay hydrated and healthy.

4. Use Floral Preservatives:

Consider adding floral preservatives to the water to extend the lifespan of your flowers. These commercial products contain nutrients and antibacterial agents that help keep the water clean and nourish the blooms. Follow the instructions on the packaging for best results.

5. Trim the Stems:

Every few days, trim the stems of your flowers at a 45-degree angle. This allows for better water absorption and keeps the stems from becoming slimy, which can impede water uptake. Additionally, remove any foliage that falls below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.

6. Keep Away from Ripening Fruit:

Certain fruits, such as bananas and apples, emit ethylene gas as they ripen, which can accelerate the aging process of flowers. To prolong the life of your blooms, keep them away from ripening fruit and other ethylene-producing items.
