- What's
the best way to cut flowers?
-
Flowers keep best when cut with a
sharp knife (un-serrated) and plunged immediately into water. Always
make a cut on a slant, as it exposes more stem surface area. Also
remove leaves that will be under water in the arrangement, but do
not remove thorns from roses as it tends to shorten there life. Use
plain, lukewarm water for most cut flowers, but use cold water for
bulb flowers, such as daffodils, hyacinths and tulips. Change water every 2 days, do not just top it up.
Keep flowers out of
direct sunlight, move flowers to a cool place at night.
