The Essential Rule of Thumb: Extending Vase Life
A beautiful arrangement is a living entity, transitioning daily. To ensure your stems remain vibrant for as long as possible, there is a singular truth: hydration is paramount. But not all hydration is equal.
Always begin by cutting stems at a sharp 45-degree angle. This increases the surface area for water absorption and prevents the stems from resting flat against the base of your vase, which can suffocate the flower. Use sharp shears, never standard scissors, which crush the capillaries.
Furthermore, water must be refreshed daily. Bacteria is the primary cause of wilting. A pristine vase, cool fresh water, and keeping the arrangement out of direct sunlight or drafts will dramatically extend the life and elegance of your Tower Rush design.
