All in the Angle

Before placing your flowers in water, cutting the stems will ensure they don’t go thirsty. Aim for an angle of 45 degrees and repeat the process every couple of days. The water should also be changed every second day. It’s not just flowers that need to keep hydrated—here’s a friendly reminder to drink some water.

Nutrients and Nourishment

As they are no longer attached to roots, your blooms will rely on water for their nutrient intake. Help them out by adding some flower food to the vase of H2O. Bouquets typically come with a sachet of the stuff, but just in case not, sugar will do. 2 teaspoons of sugar per quart of water should keep your flowers happy.

Please Leave

Something you don’t want in the water, however, are leaves. As a rule of thumb, remove all bits of foliage that fall below the water line and any loose leaves or petals that decide to go for a swim.

Bye-Bye, Bacteria

Bacteria are not invited to this shindig. Unwanted microorganisms may gravitate towards the sugar in the water, so block their path by lowering the pH level. This can be done by adding 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar per quart of water to the vase.

Keep It Cool

Fresh flowers tend to do better in cooler climes. A trick to keeping your blooms cool, no matter the weather, is to add ice. A few cubes in your vase should do the trick.

Impatiens

Impatiens are great for shady balconies. The closer you plant them, the taller they’ll be — up to 30 inches. They grow all spring and summer and require daily watering.

Verbena

Verbena is a balcony plant that works well with hanging baskets or window planters. You can choose color and size from many different varieties. Verbena doesn’t require a lot of water over summer.

Pansy

Pansies smell great and thrive in balcony pots and boxes. They bloom in many different colors and will give your balcony a vibrant touch. They don’t like a lot of heat but enjoy the partial shade.

Begonias

Beautiful begonias are a perfect addition to every balcony that’s not on direct sunlight all day long, as long as you move them inside before the first frost.

Find Out How Old It Is

Orchids will bloom when they’re 1.5-3 years old. An adult plant that’s ready to bloom should have 5 to 8 sprouts. If a plant is young but it already went through blooming chances are it won’t be able to recover.

Don’t Move It

Orchids don’t like it when you move them from place to place. If you’re moving it for watering, make sure to put it back exactly as it was.

How to Water

Orchids should be watered often when they’re blooming, and approximately once every 12 days when they’re not. In order to water it, put its pot in a bigger dish with some water, then leave for a few hours. Leave to drain before returning to its place.

A great element would be to add a few crystals and maybe even some sage to promote good energy.

What are Flower Bundles?

Flower bundles are fresh flowers that have either been hung upside down for a certain span of time, enough to be dried or lightly baked to have a crisp and dry texture. They’re basically bundles of preserved flowers that can be used for decorations to give a more natural and earthy feel to your interior.

How Do You Make Them?

Air drying is the best method for flowers with strong scents including lavender and roses. This technique is the best way to preserve their natural color and structure.

Steps:

• Cut the stems into your desired length preferably no longer than 7 inches.
• Keep the flowers away from sunlight as soon as possible as their color tends to fade after they’ve been cut.
• Hang the flowers together by securing them with a rubber band or hair tie.
• Attach them to a piece of string and tape it to your wall or tie it to a piece of furniture.
• Wait for them to fully dry for two to three weeks.
• Attach your crystals and sage bundles to them for an added magical element.

Pick the Right Kind

There are some flowers that will naturally last longer than others do once they are cut. You can’t go wrong with lilies, roses, and sunflowers.

Trim Their Stems

Before putting them in the water, trim the stems under an angle to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the vase and not getting any water.

Remove Excess Leaves and Petals

If there’s anything that would end up soaked in water, remove it upfront. Rotten leaves in water will grow bacteria and kill your flowers quicker.

Big or Small?

Heavier flowers are better off in a smaller vase with stems trimmed. Light and fluffy flowers look great in tall vases.

But the hard part comes when after two or three days we have to throw our bouquet away. Watching your beautiful flowers browning and drying is so sad – if only there was a way to avoid this.

Thanks to Karolina Samalė, we might not have to this ever again. Samalė also thought it was such a waste throwing flowers away, so she made her own unique bouquets that you can eat.

These amazing bouquets are made of fruits, vegetables and herbs so you can get one in your favorite taste.

“I decided to make a bouquet that you don’t need to say goodbye in a hard way. You can eat it. Two years ago, I started to make edible bouquets from fruits, vegetables and herbs. It takes me 1 to 2 hours to make one and it weighs about 2 to 5 kg,” the creative lady wrote for Bored Panda.

Not only do these one of a kind bouquets taste good, they also look amazing. Take a look.
