How to prolong the lifespan of your flowers

Here are some tips to help make your flowers last longer:

1. **Fresh Water**: Change the water every 2-3 days, and trim the stems at an angle to help them absorb water more effectively.

2. **Remove Leaves**: Remove any leaves that will be submerged in the water, as they can promote bacterial growth.

3. **Use Flower Food**: If provided, use the flower food packets that often come with bouquets. They contain nutrients that can help prolong the life of the flowers.

4. **Avoid Direct Sunlight and Heat**: Keep the flowers in a cool location away from direct sunlight, heating vents, or drafts, as these can cause them to wilt more quickly.

5. **Prune and Remove Dead Flowers**: Remove any wilted or dead flowers and foliage from the arrangement to prevent the spread of bacteria and encourage the remaining flowers to thrive.

By following these tips, you can help extend the life of your flowers and enjoy them for a longer period of time.
