FRESH CUT FLOWER PRESERVATIVE MIXTURE & BOUQUET TIPS



Fresh Cut Flower Preservative Mixture & Bouquet Tips image

Do preservatives really work? YES they do. Commercially made powders deter bacteria and mold, provide sucrose to feed the flowers, and acidify the water (which helps stems take up more water). From my favorite garden magazine, Garden Gate, June 2010 issue.

  • Cut stems at an angle, remove all foliage that will be under the water, so it won't rot.
  • Place stems in a clean container of water, a bucket will do.
  • Indoors: Either in the bucket or fill the sink with water, cut 1" off the stems while under water (to keep air bubbles form blocking the stems).
  • Place stems in the prepared water the floral preservative.
