Sometimes the vase has impurities that can cause the flowers to wither quickly. Another essential point to remember while deciding on a vase for your flowers is its height. The vase should be appropriate according to the need of the flowers. For instance, if the flowers are light, they bend and break in a low vase. Similarly, a tall vase wouldn&#8217;t work best for a heavy flower bunch. A proper vase according to your flowers will keep them fresh and beautiful for longer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dont-let-the-foliage-touch-the-water-surface\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Let_the_Foliage_Touch_the_Water_Surface\"><\/span><strong>Don&#8217;t Let the Foliage Touch the Water Surface.&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;uploadedSrc&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.bloomsflora.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/Dont-let-the-foliage-touch-the-water-surface-2.jpg&quot;,&quot;figureClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;,&quot;figureStyles&quot;:null,&quot;imgClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-image-6771&quot;,&quot;imgStyles&quot;:null,&quot;targetWidth&quot;:2122,&quot;targetHeight&quot;:1412,&quot;scaleAttr&quot;:false,&quot;ariaLabel&quot;:&quot;Enlarge image: Young woman cutting stems of fresh tulips, making bouquet.

Keep the stems submerged in water but avoid contact of leaves with the water surface. Pick out the leaves from the lower part of the stem to avoid microbial growth. Also, make sure to cut off the dead or dry leaves and remove them from the water if there are any. They also induce microbial growth and prevent the stem from taking in the air from water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips-to-keep-your-flowers-fresh-snip-the-stems\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_To_Keep_Your_Flowers_Fresh%E2%80%93Snip_the_Stems\"><\/span><strong>Tips To Keep Your Flowers Fresh<\/strong>&#8211;<strong>Snip the Stems&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;uploadedSrc&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.bloomsflora.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/Snip-the-stems.jpg&quot;,&quot;figureClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;,&quot;figureStyles&quot;:null,&quot;imgClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-image-6756&quot;,&quot;imgStyles&quot;:null,&quot;targetWidth&quot;:2000,&quot;targetHeight&quot;:1333,&quot;scaleAttr&quot;:false,&quot;ariaLabel&quot;:&quot;Enlarge image: Lady Cutting Flowers Stems&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Lady Cutting Flowers Stems&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Snip-the-stems.jpg\" alt=\"Lady Cutting Flowers Stems\" class=\"wp-image-6756\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Snip-the-stems.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Snip-the-stems-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Snip-the-stems-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Snip-the-stems-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Snip-the-stems-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge image: Lady Cutting Flowers Stems\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Cut a short part of the flower stem that will remain submerged in the water and perform the job of taking in water to keep the flowers fresh. This method is best for flowers with longer stems lying flat on the vase&#8217;s bottom. They might not get enough area to take in water easily.

Avoid direct sunlight from any heat source like electric appliances such as TV, AC, microwave, etc., which produce a high amount of heat upon functioning. Other than that, keep your flower vase away from fruits as well. If you wonder how fruits will affect them, it might come to you as a shocker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fruits and flowers both produce ethylene. It is a gas useful for the growth of both flowers and fruits. So, the high amounts of ethylene produced by fruits can stop the flowers from producing it and reduce their vase life. To keep your flowers fresh and beautiful for a long time, avoid placing them near any fruits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the tips mentioned above to protect the flowers from wilting quickly, you can apply other effective methods to keep the flower fresh for a longer time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips-to-keep-your-flowers-fresh-save-them-with-hairspray\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_To_Keep_Your_Flowers_Fresh-Save_Them_with_Hairspray\"><\/span><strong>Tips To Keep Your Flowers Fresh-Save Them with Hairspray.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;uploadedSrc&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.bloomsflora.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/Save-them-with-hairspray.jpg&quot;,&quot;figureClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;,&quot;figureStyles&quot;:null,&quot;imgClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-image-6758&quot;,&quot;imgStyles&quot;:null,&quot;targetWidth&quot;:1024,&quot;targetHeight&quot;:666,&quot;scaleAttr&quot;:false,&quot;ariaLabel&quot;:&quot;Enlarge image: Hairspray on Flowers&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Hairspray on Flowers&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Save-them-with-hairspray.jpg\" alt=\"Hairspray on Flowers\" class=\"wp-image-6758\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Save-them-with-hairspray.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Save-them-with-hairspray-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Save-them-with-hairspray-768x500.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge image: Hairspray on Flowers\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hairsprays are not only your saviour when you are having a bad hair day, but they can also rejuvenate the flowers and keep them fresh for a longer time.

The increased temperature might dry the flowers early and reduce their vase life. Similarly, a strong breeze can break the flower from its stem. So, make sure to place your flower vase in a cool place favourable for the flowers to keep them fresh for a longer time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trim-them-when-needed\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Trim_Them_when_Needed\"><\/span><strong>Trim Them when Needed<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;uploadedSrc&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.bloomsflora.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/03\\\/Trim-them-when-needed.jpg&quot;,&quot;figureClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;,&quot;figureStyles&quot;:null,&quot;imgClassNames&quot;:&quot;wp-image-6761&quot;,&quot;imgStyles&quot;:null,&quot;targetWidth&quot;:2560,&quot;targetHeight&quot;:1708,&quot;scaleAttr&quot;:false,&quot;ariaLabel&quot;:&quot;Enlarge image: Florist cutting flower stems&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Florist cutting flower stems&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1708\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on-async--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-async-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Trim-them-when-needed.jpg\" alt=\"Florist cutting flower stems\" class=\"wp-image-6761\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Trim-them-when-needed.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Trim-them-when-needed-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Trim-them-when-needed-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Trim-them-when-needed-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Trim-them-when-needed-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Trim-them-when-needed-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge image: Florist cutting flower stems\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on-async--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"context.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"context.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Take extra care of the dead leaves and wilted flowers. If you find any in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/in\/flowers\/bouquets\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.bloomsflora.com\/in\/flowers\/bouquets\">flower bouquet<\/a>, cut them off to prevent bacterial growth. If they fall in the water, they again initiate microbial action, making it difficult for the stem to absorb water. So, snip off the dead leaves and flowers from the bunch. Extra precaution is needed if you have different flowers in a bunch. Every flower has a different life span, so please keep a check on your bunch and remove the dead ones to keep the rest of the flowers fresh for longer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final-takeaway\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Takeaway\"><\/span><strong>Final Takeaway<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Flowers can be kept fresh for many days if you take extra care to prevent microbial growth and provide them with the necessary nutrition.
