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!

How Flowers Help Long Distance Loving

unitedLoving is tough; long-distance loving, only tougher. It’s important to give meaning to your love life, and more so in a long distance relationship, because you’re stripped of your most basic necessity of relationship-building i.e. meeting each other.

Even if you can’t be present, there are plenty of ways to make your presence felt. It’s not necessary that you spend a lot of money, what’s important is the amount of effort you put in to making your presence felt. While some choose expensive jewellery, electronics or other gifts to surprise their sweethearts, experts have suggested flowers especially in the case of long-distance relationships.

People have been expressing love with flowers for thousands of years. The only difference today is that it’s become a lot a easier to send your wishes across the globe. In the month of love, you are surely going to miss your special someone and there’s no better way to make up for your absence than by sending flowers. Planning well in advance for occasions and a timely delivery makes a floral gift doubly worth. A personalized letter makes it even better.

Choosing Flowers
Choosing flowers based on the significance and meaning they have to you as a couple is a genuine way to show that you care. Pinks, reds and whites remain the traditional favorite of couples. However a mixed colored bunch or radiant contrast of any two uncommon colors also makes a great choice. For extra special occasions, you can add a cake or perfume to the floral delivery.

So what if you aren’t there to wish her/him a good morning or a goodnight you can always make your presence felt with fresh flowers. At flora2000.com we give you the chance to keep reminders for all special occasions, i.e. birthdays, anniversaries etc. You need not restrict your floral gifts to his/her home alone, you can surprise him/her on a dull Monday with a blooming bunch of posies too. We undertake international flower delivery to 190 countries, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re miles apart. We’ll make sure we deliver your gifts on time and in the most pristine conditions.

So go ahead and book a beautiful bunch of flowers for your special one.

5 Contemporary Christmas Wreath Ideas

Did you know that the Christmas custom of hanging a wreath on the front door has been taken from Rome’s New Year celebrations? Romans wished each other “good health” by exchanging branches of evergreens. Contemporary wreath designs often don’t even involve evergreens anymore. We’ve explored a few wreath designs that are made from anything but evergreens. These wreaths are fun to make and will make your front door look great for the Holiday celebrations.

Snowman Wreath

820094a7dcb1570d4311dc9b425d6188

This Snowman shaped wreath as the name suggests, doubles up as a wreath and a Snowman. For the hat, you can cut out a black card-board in the shape of a hat. The three circles can be made of scraps of white cloth woven in circles around a wire twisted and turned in the shape of a circle. You can use a spare red scarf to keep your Snowman wreath warm.

Santa Wreath

wreath1
This wreath combines Santa and the spirit of Christmas in an innovative way. Weave scraps of bright red cloth around a wire twisted in the shape of a circle. Attach a belt made of cardboard in the center of the wreath. You can give “Ho Ho Ho” a skip, as the wreath is self-explanatory.

Rudolph Wreath

wreath2

The reindeer Wreath is yet another subtle yet elegant way of adding the magic of Christmas to your front door. Get a burlap wreath and place large a red berry in place of Rudolph’s nose. You can carve the antlers out of red card paper.

Wolly Candy Cane Wreath

wreath7

Wrap wool threads of red and white in parts around a circular tube. Embellish it with an artificial snowflake and sprigs of red and white berries.

Woody Wreath

wreath8

Make a circular crown of dried branches. You can embellish it with the ornament of your choice. We’ve added a snowman.
