Love Flowers? 11 Flower Hacks You’ll Love More

Did you know that you could turn a fused out bulb into a flower holder?

11032343_10153446137949629_6718701151657033433_n
We’ve lined up 11 more amazing flower hacks that any flower lover will love.

Vase Replacement

08c14da42b6a150d72d2f1705fd3b5da

Out of vases to present your flowers?  Cut the stems and place them in a tea cup.

The Rule Of 45 Degrees

nrm_1407866150-7h1a9857

Always cut stems at a 45 degree angle. By doing this the stem ends have more surface area to soak up water. This way your flowers will always look hydrated. Also the stems will get a better base and won’t slip.

Open Closed Buds

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Facing trouble with flowers that are beautiful but closed? Here’s a simple technique. After cutting the stems at a 45 degree angle, immerse the flowers in warm water, so that it covers 40% of the length of the stems for about a minute. Immediately immerse the flowers in cold water for 20 minutes and watch the flowers bloom up to their maximum size.

Alcohol For Happier Flowers

vodka

While a night of drunkenness will leave you looking terrible, it has quite the opposite effect on flowers.  Take precautions before your flowers wilt by adding a few drops of vodka mixed with white sugar. However, when your flowers are at the brink of wilting, breathe life into them by adding a shot of vodka into the water and they’ll be up for a day or two. Life is indeed better when you’re drunk!

Succulents As Home Decor

succelnt

Confused about how to present the succulents someone gifted you?  Those old dessert bowls that you want to dispose can be put to good use as replacement pots. Fill them up to the brim with soil, and moisten with water. Place the succulents on top of them. Eventually they’ll grow roots and you’ll have a beautiful set of decor plants.

Shallow Vase Woes

db0bd8a76a9682492bec40add434cf7e

Create a grid using water resistant tape on the brim of a shallow vase to keep your flowers intact. Trim the stems and place them inside the grid.

Fruity Blooms

ee2fe110f9086af8079142dd64c13ff0

Take two vases, eg. a rectangular shaped medium vase and a large cylindrical vase. Stick the rectangular one inside the cylindrical vase. Fill both of them up with water. And slip sliced lemons in the gap between the cylindrical and rectangular vase.

A Penny A Day Keeps The Flowers Fresh

Drop a penny into the flower vase to keep the flowers fresh. The copper in the penny acts as an acidifier that helps prevent fungal and bacterial growth, thus improving the longevity of the flowers.

 Bed Of Roses

petals

Thinking of decking up your bath tub or bed with roses? Make this task a little easier by twisting the head of a rose to easily access its petals.

Perfecting The Flower Arrangement

After following the ground rule, of trimming the stems of your flowers at a 45 degree angles, insert the flowers in a crisscross pattern in the vase. This way they’ll support each other and the arrangement too will look fuller.

Enhance It

ribbon

Add a touch of class to your flower arrangement by wrapping a ribbon around it. Your flowers will simple, yet elegant.

5 Types Of Flowers And What They Say About Your Relationship

Whatever be the occasion, flowers as gifts always work like a charm. Every flower type expresses a different feeling and a different emotion, did you know?

Red Roses

Red roses are a classic choice for every generation’s romance. They convey the promise of a commitment that looks forward to a “happily after” love story. If you are serious about your lady love, and you positively feel that she is the one, then gift her red roses. If you aren’t too sure then you should probably settle for something less intense like Tulips. Remember when you gift a woman red roses, you’re asking her to accept you completely in her life. So gift her red roses only if you’re honestly ready to accept her as an important part of your life.

Daisies

Daisies make the perfect floral gift, when you’re in a relationship with no hang-ups and no commitments. They’re fun and don’t mean anything mean in the lines of something serious like “I Love You” or “You’re My Fairytale”. Daisies are also symbols of innocence, so they make the perfect gift when you’re in the wooing phase or when you have just began dating. They also work as great pacifiers if you’ve had a fight or an unpleasant argument.

Peonies

Peonies also make a great first impression; they’ll convey to your to-be partner that you like to keep it classy. And since, peonies are lucky, you will surely invite plenty of luck in your love life.

8 Helpful Tips For Long Lasting Valentine’s Day Flowers

Do you feel all dreamy when you look at the flowers your beau gifted you and wish that they’d last forever? Sadly they don’t. Before they turn into a fossilized bookmark, enjoy the sight of them while they last with these simple helpful tips. Buy another bunch once they die.

Soda Can Be Useful Too

That unhealthy bottle of soda lying in your fridge can be to put to some good use. Pour about 4 spoons of soda into the water in your flower vase. The sugar in the soda will make your flowers last longer.

Tip: Use clear sodas , unless you like your base to look colorful.

Hairspray

Your favorite grooming accessory can also double up as a flower preserving agent. At a distance of a foot, spurt some hairspray on to the undersides of the leaves and petals. The flowers will continue looking fresh for a longer span.

pink-beautiful-flowers3

Apple Cider Vinegar

When it comes to flower care, you don’t really have to look beyond your hair care routine.  Apart from taking care of your skin and hair apple cider vinegar can also double up as a preserving agent. Mix the water in the vase with 2 spoons of sugar and 2 spoons of apple cider vinegar. Change the water daily and add a fresh mixture of vinegar and sugar to the water.

Vodka

Apart from keeping your spirits high, the vodka will also make your cut flowers last long. Mix two spoonfuls of vodka with 2 spoonfuls of sugar and add it to the water in your flower vase.  Keep changing the vodka and sugar mixture to keep the flowers fresh.

Aspirin

Crushed aspirin in water is the most common and most effective advice for preserving cut flowers. Only tip we’d like to add is, don’t forget to change the water with a fresh new crushed aspirin everyday.

Bleach

The only reason why flowers die quickly is because of the bacterial growth in the water that they’re stored in. Mix a spoon of sugar with ¼ teaspoon of bleach and add it to the water in which the flowers are kept.

A Penny A Day Keeps The Flowers Fresh

Sorry can’t rhyme, but the copper in the penny acts as an acidifier and will stop the bacteria from spreading in the stagnant water.

Sugar

Sugar in itself is enough to keep flowers fresh. If you don’t have any of the fancy things we mentioned above, just add 3 spoons of sugar everyday and don’t forget to change the water daily.

We hope your flowers last long this Valentine’s season and in case they don’t we hope your beau sends you another fresh bunch of flowers. With online flower delivery it’s all so easy. 😀 Have a splendid Valentine’s week lovers!
