Steps
Choose flowers that are almost but not fully mature, as this will ensure a longer cut life.
Hold the stems underwater and cut about 2 inches off, using a sharp knife. Cutting the stems underwater seals the stem with the water and prevents air from clogging the stem cells.
Cut stems diagonally to prevent them from resting flat on the bottom of the container.
If floral foam is used, make sure it is saturated with water.
Use a clean vase with fresh warm water.
Mix a floral preservative into the water.
No foliage should be below the waterline in the vase.
Keep flowers away from excessive heat or cold, direct sunlight, or drafts which will increase transpiration or wilting.
Refresh the water every 2-3 days.
