Using fresh flower food is simple and helps prolong the life of your cut flowers. Here's how to use it effectively:
-
Measure the flower food: Use 1 capful of fresh flower food for every 2 cups of cool water.
-
Prepare the solution: Pour the measured flower food directly into your vase. Then, add the cool water. Mix gently to ensure the flower food is dissolved.
-
Prepare the flowers: Cut the flower stems at an angle. This allows for better water absorption.
-
Arrange the flowers: Place the freshly cut flower stems into the vase with the flower food solution. Ensure that the cut ends of the stems are submerged.
-
Maintain the solution: For the best and longest-lasting results, change the water and re-apply the flower food solution every 3-4 days. This prevents bacteria build-up and keeps the nutrients fresh.
By following these steps, you can significantly extend the life and beauty of your fresh cut flowers.
