A (Mostly) Simple Guide to Cutting Your Flowers
So, you’ve decided to make a floral arrangement. Good for you! Let’s make sure your flowers live long enough to impress someone (even if that someone is just you).
- Start with Clean Scissors: Yes, I know you’re tempted to grab those kitchen scissors you use to cut open snack bags, but at least give them a wash first. Your flowers don’t need a side of Dorito dust, thanks.
- Cut at a 45-Degree Angle: This isn’t geometry class, but cutting the stems at an angle gives them more surface area to drink up water. It’s like giving your flowers a straw instead of expecting them to chug from a bottle.
- Trim Under Water (If You’re Fancy): If you really want to go pro, cut the stems underwater to avoid air bubbles. Sure, it feels a little extra, but your flowers didn’t ask to suffocate.
- Ditch the Underwater Leaves: Strip off any leaves that would sit below the waterline. Unless, of course, you’re into the whole swamp aesthetic.
- Give Them a Fresh Cut if They’ve Been Sitting Out: If your flowers have been out of water for a while, trim the stems again. They need a fresh start—don’t we all?
- Change the Water Regularly: Every couple of days, change the water and give the stems a trim. It’s not that hard, and your flowers will thank you by not dying immediately.
And voilà! You’re now the proud creator of a floral arrangement that might just survive long enough for you to forget to water it. Now go forth and arrange those flowers like the domestic deity you pretend to be on Instagram.
Pro Tip: Keep It Short and Sweet!
When it comes to flower stems, shorter is better. Not only do shorter stems look chic in arrangements, but they also help your blooms last longer. Why? Because the shorter the stem, the less distance water has to travel to keep those petals perky. It’s like giving your flowers a shorter commute—less stress, fewer breakdowns.
The Card Shop at the End of Civility
One might call it a greeting card intervention. The kind where relatives gather around, clutching tissues, saying "Your Hallmark addiction has gone too far." But these aren't your grandmother's greeting cards – unless grandmother enjoyed dropping casual F-bombs between sips of Earl Grey.
Why let your flowers die when they can live forever?
These low-maintenance beauties can hang as wall art or add a pop of color to your tablescape, without ever needing water or sunlight. Perfect for those who want to show they care, but not enough to remember to water real flowers. They also make a perfect gift for someone who appreciates beauty without the commitment—because who has time to keep flowers alive, anyway?
