Magical Secrets to Keep Your Bouquet Healthy Before Shipping Them!
Step 1: Snap, Snip, and Hydrate! First things first, grab those gardening shears and give those stems a snip! Cut them at an angle, under some running water, to ensure they can drink up all the hydration goodness. Then, pop them in a vase filled with fresh water—think of it as a spa day for your flowers!
Step 2: Feed the Magic Elixir ~ Ever heard of flower food? It's like their favorite snack! Mix it into the water to give your blooms that extra oomph. It's like a secret potion that keeps them happy and perky.
Step 3: Cool as a Cucumber! Guess what? Flowers are like snowflakes—they love cooler temperatures! Low temperatures help slow down their aging process, keeping them fresher for longer. Let them chill out a bit!
Step 4: A Surprising Soda Trick! Here's a secret: pour ¼ cup of soda into the vase with your fresh flowers! That's right, soda! The sugar in soda is rumored to make your blooms last longer and even smell sweeter.
When You are Ready to Mail: Wrap Them Up with Care Gently wrap the stems in a moist paper towel and secure it with a rubber band. Then, cover the blooms with a plastic bag to keep them cozy and prevent any mishaps on their journey. With a bit of love and these tricks, your bouquet will arrive looking as fresh and vibrant as the day it was picked.
I can't wait to receive your beautiful bouquet and help you preserve wonderful memories! 🌸✨
