Fresh flowers may just be the single easiest way to brighten a room. Flowers lend a bit of holistic warmth to a home, inviting friends and family alike to take some time to smell their sweet fragrance.
Unfortunately, that invitation lasts only as long as the flowers remain fresh. So, how do the professionals keep their flowers looking beautiful for weeks at a time?
According to Kelly Buck, a partner at Flowers by Jennie Lynne in Fairless Hills, there is a simple rule of thumb that will help you keep your flowers alive and beautiful for weeks.
“It's the five second rule,” said Kelly. “After just a few seconds of air exposure, the cells in the stem of a flower start to dehydrate and die. If your flower has been out of water for more than a few seconds, than you need to cut the stem again.”
Flowers can only stay healthy so long as they are able to take in water, so if the cut stem of the flower becomes clogged with dead and dehydrated cells, the flower will begin to wilt.
For maximum life out of your flowers, cut the stems every two days and be sure to get them back in the water within five seconds.
Of course, for the best possible results, you have to start with quality flowers.
