Flowers in the heat?

The best way to protect and prolong the life span of your beautiful blooms.

Honestly I am not going to lie, summer is my favourite season of the year. I mean name one good reason why it sucks and I’ll buy you lunch (and because it’s too hot is not a reason). Not only do I love summer but Blooms do as well, they are out in full swing soaking up those rays, without a worry in the world.

However, once cut from their origin Flowers need cool and water to stay vibrant and to prolong their life.

How do I do that? You ask.

Well I am here to tell you, free of charge.

Once you receive your beautiful blooms the first thing you should do (other than taking a photo and tagging us @petalandsagesandringham) is to cut the ends about a cm shorter and on a 45 degree angle if you can. This allows more surface area for the stems to soak up the water. Place them into fresh clean water and place them in an area that will not get direct harsh sunlight for old mate up there. Then every 1 to 2 days re-cut them another cm shorter, on that angle I talked about before, and replace the water. This should help your blooms stay lovely for 1 to 2 weeks, even longer depending on the variety.

But if I cut my flowers stems short, won't that ruin them?

The short answer, NO WAY.

In fact the shorter the stems the fresher your flowers will look, simply because the bloom doesn’t have to do heaps of work to get the water all the way up the stem and it can focus more on making the bloom look INCREDIBLE… thank you nature.
