Weeks of Pleasure with Fresh Flowers

HOW TO KEEP YOUR FLOWERS FRESHER LONGER

Use clean vases of clean water.
Flowers need water - lots of it.  Choose a clean appropriate sized vase that allows the stems a deep well of water.
Cut each stem and arrange in the vase using a commercial floral preservative. If you do not have preservative, plain water is better than any home remedies.
Recut stems and change water often.
You can cut and rearrange your flowers every day to few days - whatever is your pleasure.
I feel that recutting the stems and changing the water frequently is more important than using preservatives.

You may opt to separate your flowers into different groupings and move them into different rooms of your home as the stems get shorter the vase should get smaller.
Finally, when they are coming to the end of their lifecycle, cut the stems 1/2" from the blooms and float them in a bowl of water.
I have often laid blooms and petals on a plate with some candles or in a bed of potpouri to let them dry naturally. Rose petals are especially suitable for this.

Weeks of pleasure.
Using this process I have enjoyed all kinds of flowers for two weeks or longer.
