Chrysanthemum Flower

Preparation

• Trimming Stems: Trim 1-2 inches off the stems at a 45-degree angle with clean scissors to enhance water uptake.
• Remove Foliage: Remove any leaves that would sit below the waterline to minimize bacterial growth in the vase.

Watering

• Fresh Water: Fill a clean vase with cool, fresh water. Change the water every 2-3 days to keep it clear.
• Flower Food: Incorporate floral preservative or flower food in the water to nourish the chrysanthemums and prolong their freshness.

Placement

• Ideal Location: Place the vase in a cool spot, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts for optimal longevity.
• Ethylene Sensitivity: Keep chrysanthemums away from ripening fruits, which emit ethylene gas and can lead to wilting.

Longevity Tip

• Maximizing Vase Life: Regularly re-trim the stems and remove any spent blooms to keep the arrangement looking fresh.
