Make Cut Flowers Last Longer by Flower Thailand

How To Make Cut Flowers Last Longer by Flower Thailand

If you want to make your investment in the flowers you purchase at your local florist or any other location last then there are some things that you must do to ensure that they last.

A main cause of deterioration in flower vases is bacteria. Make sure your vase is clean and your water is pure, plus replace your water after 2-3 days. If any of the leaves lower down the stem are submerged under water, cut them off to prevent the spread of bacteria. Also, using Flower Thailand floral food provided by your florist should kill harmful bugs and dirt.

The first thing that you want to do is cut off excessive leaves and greenery which will just suck up the water and nutrients that you want to go to your flowers. Next, cut the bottom of the stems on an angle to open the flowers up to receive the water and nutrients. As you place them in the vase you will want to criss-cross the stems to allow the flowers to be arranged more easily and present a fuller look.

For a taller floral arrangement you will want to use a slimmer and taller vase to make your flowers look better proportioned and last longer. Tulips and Gladiolas are a couple of types of flowers that work well in this type of situation. A tall arrangement really stands out and makes an impression.

Another trick that helps to make your floral arrangement look more natural is to cut the stems of the flowers at different heights. Doing this will allow your arrangement to mimic the look of a natural garden. Also use odd numbers of flowers, such as using 3 roses together or 5. Even numbers just don't work as effectively. If you use 5 roses for example, Place 3 together cut at different lengths near the bottom center of the vase and then two higher up.

Never place your flowers in bright or overheated areas in your home. This breeds bacteria and causes an excess water loss. Use a vase that is in proportion to the size and amount of flowers that you have ordered. This could create even more water loss that you are not aware of.

You can't go wrong with flowers as a gift but by following the tips above, the flowers will last longer. Be sure to teach the person you are giving the flowers to the tips so that your gift will be appreciated and enjoyed much longer.


Cut Flower Care & Handling by Flower Thailand

Flower Thailand prides itself on the level of "post harvest care" our flowers recieve within our stores. All flowers are inspected, hydrated, and treated with the proper post harvest products on arrival. Nothing is left to chance! Our mission is to ensure that the flowers you take home provide you with enjoyment for the longest period possible

To achieve maximum enjoyment from their flowers, our customers should be ready to do their bit too, with proper care and processing of flowers in the home.

Flower Thailand Fresh Cut Flower Food Sachets have been specially developed by industry experts to help fresh cut flowers achieve optimum performance and life in a vase. Each 10 gram sachet contains a mixture of 90% flower nutrients and 10% anti-bacteria agents. Its main function is to assist the flower in opening (thus the high nutrient content) and to retard bacterial growth (a cut flowers mortal enemy).

The food in these sachets helps keep water clear by minimizing sediment at the bottom of the vase. It also helps flowers maintain their natural colour, shape and fragrance, keeps stems firm and leaves green, and also inhibits the processes which cause vascular plugging in the stem.
When you buy Flower Thailand flowers, expect to receive:

a Flower Thailand flower care sheet
at least one sachet of Flower Thailand Fresh Cut Flower Food for every litre of water that you will use.

The following steps will ensure that you receive maximum life from your flowers

Carefully MEASURE proper amounts of flower food into a clean vase of lukewarm water. Use one 10 gram package of Flower Thailand Fresh Cut Flower Food in every litre of water (that's for an 8" vase). When mixed improperly, the high concentration of nutrients (sugar) in food sachets creates a breeding ground for bacteria, that will be worse for the flower than if no food is used at all.

IMPORTANT: As the water level gets low, you must re-fill vases with fresh solution made with correct proportions of Flower Thailand Fresh Cut Flower Food and water.NOTE: For roses, this process should be performed on Day 1 (when you first purchase product), on Day 3, and again on Day 5 to ensure that you obtain maximum vase life.

Use the supplied Flower Thailand flower food sachets. Substitutes for Flower Thailand flower food may not be as easily absorbed into the flower and may not contain a bactericide. Use our sachets of flower food to maximize the vase life and development of flowers.

Re-cut stems with a sharp knife. After a flower is cut, certain enzymes close off the wound that has been made. Therefore, re-cutting the stem before you place flowers in water (containing Flower Thailand Fresh Cut Flower Food) is necessary for the solution to be absorbed throughout the flower.NOTE: Using a dull knife or scissors may crush the stems and decrease vase life.

Remove foliage below water level. Natural secretions produced by the flower may obstruct the vessels in the stem. Working hygienically and removing foliage (leaves) up to the water line in a vase will decrease the growth of bacteria in the water. Do Not strip all leaves off the stem, the leaves help ensure the normal uptake of water.

Keep flowers out of heat and direct sunlight. Bacteria, fungi and yeast grow on stem ends and in the water, and multiply very rapidly. These processes are accelerated by high temperatures and may result in premature wilting of flowers and leaves.

Keep flowers away from fruit and cigarette smoke. Fruit and cigarette smoke produce high amounts of ethylene gas, which speeds up the natural ageing process in flowers.

Bulb flowers have a tendency to drink more water than they need and thus open too quickly. By storing flowers in very little water (only 1 1/2 - 2" deep), you can slow down the opening process and thus prolong vase life. Be sure to replenish preservative solution daily.


Flowers should be amazing. Flowers should be wonderful. Flowers should leave you wide-eyed and speechless, filled with joy. It's our goal to provide you with that kind of joy and to make the flower buying experience an exceptional one.

They say beauty isn't everything, and we've taken that to heart. Flowers are beloved for their beauty, their scent, and their romance.
