How to keep flowers looking nice for mothers day??

I just bought flowers for my mum for mothers day, which is tomorrow, and I don't know how to care for them for until tomorrow. I want to keep them fresh and looking healthy. Do I keep them outside in the sunshine or what do I do?

keep them in a cool dry place. Add an asprin to the water,,,,, let it dissolve into the water,,,,,, that allows the flowers to last longer even after she receives them.......good choice, she's a lucky lady to have you.
Reply:Are they are in a vase , fresh cut with water, they will be fine till tomorrow, No need to do anything, Just leave sitting on table till then.





Are they in a pot with dirt, just make sure the dirt is moist, not


soaking wet and they will be fine.

Reply:Here are tips of reaching this same goal without the chemicals:


* Copper is a fungicide and acts to preserve the water from too many yeasts and fungi.


* Aspirin is an acid and helps to kill bacteria overgrowth.


* Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar to 1 quart of water. The idea here is the same as with aspirin, since lemon juice and vinegar are acidic.





Other Guidelines To Keep Fresh Flowers Fresh


* Place cut flowers in cold water, not warm! Warm water dehydrates flowers.


* Placing cut flowers in the refrigerator for six hours before arranging them will triple their lifespan.


* Hot water--up to 110-200 F--is recommended to restore very wilted flowers (the hotter water is for the more wilted flowers).


* Except for when you are cooling flowers, when you want cold water to cover the stems of the flowers, there is no need to have the water go higher on the stems then six inches.


* Recut the stems every few days.


* Remove all leaves and foliage below the water line.

Reply:the warmer/brighter the location they are stored=the more they will open and bloom. keep them fresh with clean water, fresh trimmed stems and a small drop of BLEACH. YES...BLEACH! For about 1 cup of water its a small drop. This keeps the bacteria from growing. pull off any dead leaves/petals
