How to Keep Your Flowers Fresher, Longer During Summer Heat

Quinn Kremp

As the temperatures rise during the summer months, it can be a challenge to keep your flowers looking fresh and vibrant. However, with the right care and attention, you can extend the life of your blooms and enjoy them for longer. Here are some expert tips to help you keep your flowers fresher, longer during the summer heat.

1. Choose the Right Location

When displaying your flowers, make sure to place them away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators or appliances. Direct sunlight can cause the flowers to wilt quickly, so opt for a cool, shaded spot instead.

2. Change the Water Regularly

It's important to change the water in your flower vase every 2-3 days, especially during the summer when bacteria can multiply quickly in warm conditions. Use lukewarm water and trim the stems at an angle before placing them in the fresh water.

3. Add Flower Food

Consider adding flower food to the water to provide essential nutrients to the blooms and help them last longer. Flower food packets are often included when you purchase flowers from a florist, but you can also make your own by mixing sugar, bleach, and lemon juice.

4. Mist Your Flowers

During hot summer days, misting your flowers with water can help keep them hydrated and fresh. Use a spray bottle to lightly mist the petals and leaves, being careful not to overdo it as too much water can cause mold to develop.

5. Trim the Stems Regularly

Trimming the stems of your flowers every few days can help them better absorb water and nutrients. Use sharp scissors to cut the stems at an angle, removing any wilted or discolored parts to keep your flowers looking their best.

By following these expert tips, you can ensure that your flowers stay fresh and beautiful even in the sweltering summer heat. With the right care and attention, you can enjoy your blooms for longer and brighten up your home with vibrant floral arrangements.
