Spring Flower Care: How to Keep Your Blooms Fresh for Longer

Spring is the season of renewal, bringing vibrant blooms and fresh floral arrangements into our homes. To make the most of your seasonal flowers, it's essential to practice proper spring flower care. With the right techniques, you can extend the life of your flowers and keep them looking fresh for days. At Bloom de Fleur, we’re sharing the best flower care tips to help you enjoy your favorite blooms longer.

How to Keep Flowers Fresh: Essential Tips

1. Trim the Stems Properly

• Cut stems at a 45-degree angle to allow better water absorption.

• Re-trim stems every two days to prevent blockages.

2. Change the Water Regularly

• Replace vase water every one to two days to keep bacteria from forming.

• Use lukewarm water instead of cold, as flowers absorb it more efficiently.

3. Remove Foliage Below the Waterline

• Leaves submerged in water can breed bacteria and cause flowers to wilt faster.

• Strip away any excess leaves to maintain water clarity and freshness.

4. Use Flower Food or DIY Preservatives

• Add store-bought floral food to provide essential nutrients.

• DIY alternative: Mix one teaspoon of sugar, a few drops of lemon juice, and a teaspoon of bleach in the water.

5. Keep Flowers Away from Direct Sunlight & Heat

• Place arrangements in a cool, shaded area to prolong freshness.

• Avoid placing flowers near radiators, electronics, or direct sunlight.

6. Mist Flowers for Extra Hydration

• Lightly mist delicate blooms, like tulips and hydrangeas, to maintain moisture.

• Avoid over-misting to prevent mold or excess moisture buildup.

Best Spring Flowers for Long-Lasting Beauty

Certain flowers naturally last longer than others. Here are some of the best choices for fresh flower longevity:

• Tulips – With proper care, tulips can last up to a week.

• Lilies – Remove pollen from stamens to prevent wilting and staining.

• Daisies – Hardy blooms that remain fresh for extended periods.

• Carnations – Known for their durability and wide range of colors.

• Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lilies) – A resilient choice for spring bouquets.
