Cut Flower Preservative 3 Recipes
FRESH CUT FLOWER PRESERVATIVE MIXTURE & BOUQUET TIPS

- Outdoors: Harvest flowers when it's cool outside, in the early morning after the dew has dried.
- Cut stems at an angle, remove all foliage that will be under the water, so it won't rot.
- Place stems in a clean container of water, a bucket will do.
- Indoors: Either in the bucket or fill the sink with water, cut 1" off the stems while under water (to keep air bubbles form blocking the stems).
- Place stems in the prepared water the floral preservative.
