Bacteria and viruses can attack fresh cut flowers as they would attack any one of us. Mixed flowers in a vase pass viruses to each other. Just like we pass viruses or the flu to each other.

Any leaf of a flower that is submerged or touches water will rut. This rutting produces bacteria that will kill your flowers. If the vase water is not changed frequently a slimy substance (Bacteria) surrounds the end of the stem and flowers will be deprived of water and food. That beautiful flower arrangement that you just spent $200 dollars for is ruin in a day or two. Because the flower shop that you bought your flower arrangement at was not careful when he or she was putting together your flower arrangement.

Change the water in your vase as often as you can. Don’t wait more than three days to change the water in your vase and if you feel a slimy substance, remember that is bacteria and you want to change the water right away! Avoid your flowers having any contact with fruit. Fruit is always releasing gases and those gases will kill your flowers.

Now this story hurts. I buy this beautiful flower arrangement for Christmas and they die the very next day. What happen was I left them by a bowl of fruit and the fruit gave my flowers a virus that killed them the next day. I learn this later from my florist.

Here are just a few tips to avoid having any problems with your floral arrangement. Wash the vase with some bleach. Bleach kills any bacteria that are clinging to the vase. Add acids to the water right away. A table spoon of lemon juice or vinegar, couple a drops of Listerine will keep the water fresh and bacteria free. I learn this from my local florist her name is Anaid Petrosyan and she owns a flower shop in Glendale CA called Red Carpet Floral Design.

I always ask the same question to three or more florist. I have learned so much about the floral business because I would take the time ask my florist questions. Talk with a local florist about any concerns you may have. Florist are very knowledgeable about flowers and that can really help you avoid making big mistakes with your flower arrangements.
