For longer-lasting flowers, check out these helpful tips:
• Fill a vase with fresh water. Add flower food and stir to dissolve.
• Compare height of vase to height of flowers to gauge how much to trim the stems.
• To help flowers absorb water, cut stems at a slight angle.
• Remove all excess leaves that fall below the water line from the stems.
• Replace water in vase every two days and recut stems.
• Occasionally lightly mist the petals with water. Remove any buds that are past their prime.
• Place flowers in a cool area and not by heat-generating source
