Check out these tips on how to best tend to your flower arrangement to extend their vase life, courtesy of the Brooklyn Botanical Garden: 

• Give Flowers Space: Be sure your flowers are not overcrowded in their vase. Place them in a container that gives them room. If you don't have a big enough vase, try splitting them into two arrangements.
• Give Flowers Water: Check the level of water in the vase and replenish it often.
• Re-cut Limp Flowers: If a flower has gone limp, it means it isn't getting enough water. If your vase is full, try re-cutting the bottom of the stems at an angle and then run cold water over the freshly cut stems.
• Remove Wilted Flowers: If a blossom has completely wilted, remove it from the vase so as to keep the other flowers from wilting too.
• Find A Good Display Spot: It's best to keep flowers out of direct sunlight or out of drafty places. Also don't keep them near ripe fruits; they give off a gas that can damage the appearance of flowers and shorten their vase life.

Following these instructions are sure to extend the vase life of your pretty bouquet. Looking for a flower company?
