A Guide On How To Rehydrate Your Fresh Flowers

A Guide On How To Rehydrate Your Fresh Flowers

Summary:

  • Flower food sustains flowers, decreases the presence of microorganisms, and helps them absorb water and nutrients more effectively. Combined, these factors keep your flowers looking and smelling better, for longer. 
  • The three key components of flower food are citric acid, sugar, and an antibacterial agent.  
  • Flower food is easy to make at home using household items.  
  • Many DIY recipes use bleach, so take care to ALWAYS MIX THE OTHER INGREDIENTS FIRST, THEN ADD BLEACH AS THE FINAL STEP.  
  • When your vase water becomes cloudy, change out your water and make a new batch of flower food. 
  • Trim your stems, pick out dying vegetation, and remove any wet leaves or buds from your arrangement and water.  
  • If DIY flower food is not for you, check out our ready-made range at Koch & Co.
