Don't just use plain water to arrange flowers

Steps to Keep Flowers Fresh for a Week:

1. Prepare the Vase Water:

   • Use lukewarm water as it helps flowers absorb water faster.
   • Add one of the following to the water:
     • A pinch of sugar: Acts as food for the flowers.
     • A drop of bleach: Prevents bacterial growth.
     • A copper coin: Its antimicrobial properties help keep the water clean.

2. Trim the Stems:

   • Cut the stems at a 45-degree angle to increase the surface area for water absorption.
   • Remove any leaves that will be submerged to prevent rotting.

3. Change the Water Daily:

   • Refresh the water every day and clean the vase to avoid bacteria buildup.
   • Reapply the additive (sugar, bleach, or coin) after changing the water.

4. Place in the Right Spot:

   • Keep the flowers in a cool location, away from direct sunlight, heat, and drafts.

5. Use Flower Food (Optional):

   • If you have flower preservative packets, add them to the water for prolonged freshness.
