Prolonging the life of your cut flowers is crucial to enjoying their beauty for as long as possible.

To begin, it's important not to tear your bouquet apart to preserve the structure and harmony of the floral arrangement. This will also prevent some flowers from sinking too far into the water, thus affecting their lifespan.

Proper maintenance begins with using a clean vase and changing the water regularly (every 2 days), which prevents the proliferation of bacteria.

Adding specific nutrients for cut flowers is not necessary.

It is essential to avoid certain mistakes, such as direct exposure to sunlight or placing your bouquet directly next to a radiator.

And the final little tip if you have the right equipment:

To properly care for a bouquet of flowers, trimming the stems at an angle is essential to optimize water absorption. To do this, you'll need a sharp knife or clean pruning shears. Here's how to do it:

• Choose a sharp knife or pruning shears : A sharp tool ensures a clean cut, avoiding damage to the stems.
• Hold the stem firmly : With one hand, firmly hold the stem just above where you will be cutting.
• Cut at a 45-degree angle : Make a bevel cut at a 45-degree angle. This cut increases the surface area of ​​the stem, allowing the flower to drink more water.

Repeat this process for each stem before placing the flowers in a clean vase filled with fresh water. This small step prolongs the freshness and beauty of your cut flowers.

With these tips, your bouquets will stay vibrant longer.

Houseplants add life and greenery to your home, but they require specific care to thrive. Watering is one of the most crucial aspects: too much water can cause root rot, while too little can dry out the plant. It's essential to tailor watering to each plant's specific needs and ensure the soil is well-drained.

In addition to watering, it's important to understand each plant's light needs. Some prefer direct light and should be placed near windows, while others thrive in shade and grow better in less-lit areas.

Regular fertilization, especially in spring and summer, provides the necessary nutrients to encourage growth. Use fertilizers suitable for houseplants to avoid deficiencies.

Regular pruning of dead or yellowing leaves is also important. This helps prevent disease and encourage new growth.

Another often overlooked aspect is the placement of plants in relation to heat sources. Avoid placing your plants too close to a radiator, as direct heat can dry out the leaves and damage the plant. Similarly, if you have underfloor heating, don't place the pots directly on the ground, as this can overheat the roots. Use a slate or insulating mat to absorb the heat and protect your plants.

By following these tips, your houseplants will stay healthy, beautifying your living space while creating a calming atmosphere.
