Caring For Cut Flowers by Flowers by Moonstones Florist, Fareham, Hampshire.
The most important thing you can do with any flowers that you have, is to make sure any leaves that will be below the water line in the vase are removed. This will help the water to stay clean and aid with the longevity of the flowers.
Make sure you trim roughly 1cm from the stem of each flower before placing them into the vase. They may have been in water when you bought them, but often within half an hour a seal can form over the base of the stem to protect what water is left as the flower itself doesn't know if it will get to drink again. Although this is a good move by the flower to protect its resources, it also means that when it is then placed in a vase of water, the seal in effect then stops it from being able to take up more.
