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.

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.

Listerine Mouthwash
