How To Keep Flowers Alive

Do you want to learn how to keep your flowers looking beautiful for a longer time? Here are some easy and fun tips to help your flowers stay fresh and colorful!

Trim the Stems

Before you put your flowers in a vase, make sure to cut the stems at an angle. This helps the flowers drink more water, which keeps them healthy and happy. Use a clean pair of scissors or a knife to do this.

Change the Water

Every 2 to 3 days, pour out the old water and fill the vase with fresh water. This helps stop germs from growing, which can make your flowers wilt. Also, take away any leaves that look brown or droopy.

Find the Perfect Spot

Flowers like to be in a cool place. Keep them away from direct sunlight, heaters, or cold drafts. This will help them stay fresh and bright for a longer time.

Extra Fun Fact!

Did you know that some people add a little sugar or a splash of lemon juice to the water? This can give the flowers extra nutrients and help them last even longer!

Now you know how to take care of your flowers like a pro! Enjoy watching them bloom and brighten up your space.
