Best Hassle-Free Ways To Protect flowers in winter

Daily flower care

If you have just bought fresh cut flowers, make sure you are keeping them properly. If you are decorating them in a vase or glass bowl, keep them in fresh water to a sufficient level even if the container has floral foam.

In winter also, the florals need fresh water daily. While changing the water, make sure you are also cleaning the vase by removing the floral foam. Many online flower delivery services might provide their exceptional flower food, which we need to mix in the water, and it keeps the flowers fresh for a longer time during winters.

Re-cutting the Stems:

One of the basic flower protection tips is to cut floral stem in 45 degrees to keep them fresh in any season. But do you know that regularly trimming the stems can keep the blossoms even fresh just like day one?

When you order flowers, ask the delivery service to keep the stems longer as it will help you in easy maintenance. Every day, you can cut about 1 inch of the stem in 45 degrees while changing the water and you will notice the changes drastically.  Use a sharp knife or scissors to cut it perfectly; avoid piercing or smashing the stem hard as it will revoke proper water flow.

And if someone has gifted you a flower bouquet, don't keep the florals as it is in the decorative packaging. Make sure you take out the florals, cut the stem and keep them in vase filled with fresh water. As in winters, the bouquet tends to fade quickly because of less moisture.

Sunlight is equally important as water:

While taking great winter flower care, it's equally important that florals and plants are getting sufficient sunlight. Keep the florals and plants near to the window so that they can have the right amount of sunlight.

After you buy online flower and keeping them in a clean vase with fresh water, keep them at such place which just has the right amount of sunlight —nor too bright neither too cold and dark. And if you have plants kept under direct sunlight, don't forget to give them a spin. In this way, all sides of the plant will get equal sun rays and you will keep your winter garden healthy.
