- Flower vases are often kept only by changing the water daily with just leaving the vase with everything and flowers under the tap or faucet, and let the water run.
- During spring and summer, we can air the flower vases by taking a few moments to the garden.
- In order to prevent the flower vases from wilting in winter, cut a raw potato and put some small pieces of it into the vase water.
- If we have the plant in the garden, to cut them we will submerge the stem in a bowl with clear water, and we will make the cut inside the water. We can also cut one or two centimeters from the stem of the cut flowers, and immediately immerse them in hot water. In this way, air will not enter the stem, prolonging the life of the flower in the vase.
