A new bouquet of roses or seasonal flowers is sitting in your home, and you want to keep it for as long as possible ? Here are all the solutions for caring for your bouquet and keeping it looking as good as new.
Caring for a bouquet of roses
Roses are greedy and often thirsty flowers. When you receive your bouquet, remember to cut the stems 2 cm diagonally: this way, the surface area in contact with the liquid is larger and hydration is better ensured.
Similarly, to keep the water in your vase clear, remove any lower leaves that might be soaking in the water. To do this, use the blade of a knife and run it down the stem from top to bottom: thorns and foliage should not be
escape!
Once this is done, fill your vase ¾ full with room temperature water. Change it every two days.
Tip: Fill a carafe an hour beforehand and wait for the water to heat up. You can also filter the water collected from your condenser dryer.
Where is the ideal place for your bouquet? Like a cat, it will love to laze in the sun, away from drafts. Don't place it near a heater or a fruit basket: the ethylene gas from bananas and apples accelerates the ripening of flowers.
Caring for seasonal cut flowers
Each season has its own bouquet! Depending on the month, you will find:
- In spring, a bouquet of tulips or daffodils
- In summer, peonies, freesia and lilies
- In autumn, dahlias and chrysanthemums
- In winter, exotic flowers
Each time, apply the same rules as for roses, namely a sunny location without untimely gusts of wind. Then, grandmother's remedies abound to maintain your bouquet of seasonal flowers.
You will be advised to put a spoonful of sugar, copper coins, lemon, aspirin, and even chlorine or bleach at the bottom of the vase. Not all of them are effective, far from it.
If you don't feel like experimenting, rely on the preservative sachet stapled to the decorative paper of your bouquet by your florist. It contains essential nutrients to keep your bouquet of roses or seasonal flowers fresh for another week.
Caring for the dry hydrangea bouquet
If regularly changing the water in your flowers doesn't appeal to you, invest in a dried bouquet, which is very trendy right now. Maintaining a dried hydrangea bouquet, for example, obviously doesn't require water, but a few tips will help you keep it fresh for a little longer.
First, avoid locations that are too bright: the light risks bleaching the fragile colors of your bouquet and making it dull. Then, take the time to regularly dust the panicles and inflorescences.
To keep your bouquet as shiny as possible, spray your dried bouquet with hairspray. This will give it a glossy (shiny and luminous) appearance and will be less susceptible to dust.
