Florists recommend cutting off the ends of the stems of cut flowers underwater when they are put into vases They say that the flowers stay fresh longer Why is this?
Because a flower begins dying as soon as it is cut, one must of course preserve as much life nectar in the plant as possible. By cutting the stem of a flower at an angle underwater and in the early morning, one prevents the fragile fibers of a plant from drying out and overall helps the cut stay fresh. Some cut flowers, however, like daffodils and tulips must have the cut end of their stems scorched so that the end is sealed and the sap stays in.
How long will a flower last?
The lifespan of a flower varies depending on the type of flower. On average, cut flowers typically last anywhere from 3 to 10 days. Certain varieties, like orchids, can last much longer with proper care, while others, like tulips, may have a shorter lifespan. Providing fresh water, trimming stems, and keeping them in a cool location can help extend their longevity.
