Step 2 Trim all the leaves as they decay quickly and block the view of the flowers. Unopened buds should also be removed.

Step 3 Cut the stems at a 45-degree angle under water to ensure the flowers receive water immediately and no air bubbles enter the stems.

Step 4 Add 1 aspirin tablet to the water to inhibit bacterial growth. Each time you change the water, add another aspirin tablet.

2 Tips to Keep Chrysanthemums Fresh Longer

Tips to Keep Chrysanthemums Fresh Longer

Maintain a temperature between 18-25 degrees Celsius for the flowers. Avoid placing them near heat sources like TVs, heaters, or on top of refrigerators.

Keep Chrysanthemums away from ripe fruits and vegetables as the ethylene gas released during ripening causes flowers to wilt faster.

Clean the vase and change the water twice a day to prevent rot and bacterial growth.

If the stems become dry or wilted, trim them slightly to improve water absorption.

3 Tricks to Keep Chrysanthemums Fresh Even Longer

Tricks to Keep Chrysanthemums Fresh Even Longer

Using Sugar, Lemon Juice, and Dish Soap

Instead of plain water, add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/4 tablespoon of dish soap. Sugar and lemon juice provide essential nutrients, while dish soap kills bacteria.

White Vinegar

Use 1 teaspoon of white vinegar in the vase for about a minute before adding flowers. Vinegar and water act as catalysts to prevent wilting for up to 3 days.

Tricks to Keep Chrysanthemums Fresh Even Longer

Listerine Mouthwash

Mix 12g of Listerine per liter of water. This keeps the water in your vase smelling fresh and clean, even as the flowers start to wilt.

Hairspray

Not just for your hair, hairspray can also help your Chrysanthemums last longer. Stand at a distance and quickly spray the undersides of the flowers.

We hope these tips help you understand how to keep your Chrysanthemums looking beautiful and fresh for longer!

Frequently asked questions

To create a stunning and long-lasting daisy arrangement, start with a clean vase and fresh water. Trim the daisy stems at an angle and remove any leaves that will be submerged. Add flower food to the water and change it every few days. Use a variety of daisy types and colors for a full and elegant look. For a unique touch, add accent flowers or greenery. Proper care will ensure your arrangement lasts for over a week.

When selecting daisies, look for firm and vibrant blooms with healthy green leaves. Avoid flowers with brown or wilting petals. To prepare the daisies, cut the stems underwater and place them in a solution of water and flower food. Let them hydrate for a few hours before arranging. Remove any damaged petals and check for pests.

For a beautiful and elegant arrangement, vary the height of the daisy stems and create a dome-like shape. Start with taller stems in the center and gradually decrease the height towards the edges. Use larger blooms as focal points and fill in gaps with smaller daisies and accent flowers. Ensure the arrangement looks full and balanced from all angles.

To enhance your daisy arrangement, consider adding accent flowers in complementary colors, such as deep purple or burgundy. Greenery like eucalyptus or baby’s breath can add texture and sophistication. You could also try using non-traditional vases, such as vintage teapots or mason jars, for a unique and elegant touch.

To prolong the life of your daisy arrangement, keep it away from direct sunlight and drafts. Change the water and trim the stems every few days. Check for and remove any decaying flowers or leaves. Mist the flowers gently with water to keep them hydrated and fresh. With proper care, your daisy arrangement can last up to two weeks.
