Stretching the life of cut flowers Cut stems ends at a 45-degree angle, removing ½ inch and leaves below water line, using a sharp utility knife or gardening shears so the stems are not crush in order to have a better water uptake. Only bare stems should be submerged.
Fill the vase with lukewarm water for better absorption.
In addition to the preservative packet that comes with the flowers add a crushed aspirin; the carbohydrate content nourishes the stem and the analgesic aspect helps open the stem for better water intake.
Change the water very other day so prevent bacterial growth.
Remove dying blooms; they give off ethylene gas, which causes other flowers to wilt
