A good home goes a long way to make us happy, and the same applies to flowers, so ensuring your chosen vase is clean for them goes a long way.

Clean your vase with hot water and dishwashing liquid. Make sure to scrub it thoroughly and let it dry, so no harmful substances remain on it. By doing this, we can make sure to kill any potentially harmful bacteria that could be causing the wilting and ensure your flowers are in a better environment.

Trim your flowers

Trimming and cleaning your flowers go a long way to keeping them healthy, and you should do it even if they still need to be wilting.

So where should you start? First, take some time to remove any dying foliage; these rotting pars can extend fast if you leave them on your own, so trimming them as soon as you see them is ideal.

After that, you must look at the stem and cut it at a 45-degree angle. Doing this will allow your flowers to soak in more water, and their health will improve. So make a habit of cutting the stems for any flowers you receive.

Add some complements to the water.

Last but not least, keep adding some extra ingredients to the water so your flowers get more nutrients and can get some life back into their petals.

Sugar and plant food, of course, will make sure that your flowers get extra nutrients and can last longer, but a bit of bleach can also help. Now, bleach isn't inherently a flower nutrient, and you shouldn't use it in large quantities. But it can help get rid of harmful bacteria, so keep it in mind.
