The stem of the plant contains tubes. These tubes act like straws. They pull the water up from the vase and through the plant. If they cut the stem straight across, it crushes the tubes. The plants will wilt much quicker. However, if they cut at an angle, more of the tubes stay open. This means more fresh water moves through the plant, and it will stay fresh longer.

∙ 14y agoThe cross sectional surface area at the cut is increased, opening the veins and allowing the flower to more easily move water up the stem. It makes them last a little longer if they are freshly cut just before putting them in liquid. The old cut will quickly dry out or heal over not allowing moisture up.
