You’ve grown beautiful blooms—now you want to enjoy them for more than just a day. Whether you’re arranging a backyard bouquet or prepping market flowers, there’s one trick to keeping them fresher longer: how you care for them after they’re cut.
Why Cut Flowers Fade Fast
Once flowers are cut, they start to lose water and nutrients, which leads to drooping, browning, and petal loss. Bacteria in the water can speed up decay, especially during warm weather. But with the right post-harvest care, your flowers can stay vibrant for days—sometimes over a week!

How to Use Fresh Cut Flower Food
