Katherine Gray shared something on her TikTok profile tricks, which will keep the hand bouquet fresh for a long time.

Choose flowers whose flowers have not yet fully opened

When buying flowers, choose those whose flowers have not yet fully opened. This allows the flowers to develop for a longer time and have a longer freshness.

Proper pruning of the stem

Cut the flower stems about 1.5 cm diagonally. This process promotes better absorption of water and nutrients in the flower stems.

Removing the lower leaves

It is recommended to remove the lower leaves of cut flowers that could touch the water in the vase. This prevents the growth of bacteria that could shorten the life of the flowers.

Using ice cubes in a vase

Adding ice cubes to the vase is a trick to allow the water to slowly soak into the flower stems. This helps prolong the freshness of the flowers. Change the water in the vase regularly every three days and cut back the flower stems by a few millimeters to keep them fresh.

Correct placement of flowers

Place the flowers away from direct sunlight, drafts and heat sources, as these factors can shorten the life of the flowers. Also, avoid placing it near ripe fruit, as the gases emitted by the fruit accelerate the aging of the flowers.

Removal of dry leaves

Remove dry leaves regularly as this prevents the development of fungi and disease and keeps the flowers healthy.
