• Water is the most vital aspect of flower care. Try to keep the flowers in water to keep them fresh.
• Keep the flowers cool. Warm temperatures shorten the life of the blooms.
• When the valentine's day flowers start to wilt, remove the stem from the arrangement and re-cut the stem.
• Next, submerge the entire flower in warm water.
• Potted plants are also a popular gift. Like arrangements, keep them in a cool location and avoid heat drafts or dry air for longer color.
• If your valentines day roses arrived in plastic water tubes, remove them before arranging.
• Remove any leaves that will be under water, taking care not to cut through or scrape the green bark.
• Recut stems by removing 1-2 inches with a sharp knife.
• Immediately after cutting, place roses in a clean, deep vase of water containing a flower food provided by your florist.
• Check the flower food solution daily and make sure to keep it full, clean, and fresh. If the solution becomes cloudy, replace it entirely.
• Keep your roses in a cool place, out of direct sun and drafts.
