How to Keep Flowers Fresh

How do you keep flowers fresh? I have learned a thing or two through the years about keeping flowers fresh because I have bought many for myself and for clients. Here are somethings that have worked through the years in keeping flowers fresh.

• Cut the stems at an angle and trim every few days.
• Change water regularly.
• Use the flower food.
• Put a vase half full of ice and the other half with water. Change every few days.
• Put in the refrigerator at night.
• Add a pinch of sugar and apple cider vinegar. Change water and add more sugar and apple cider vinegar every few days.
• Put a drop or two of bleach in the water.

The one I do most often is trim the stems, add flower food, add half ice / half water in vase, put in frig and change water / trim stems every few days.
