Receiving a basket or bouquet of flowers is a very nice feeling. It lets you know that someone cares and is thinking of you. Now the question is "how do you care for your floral basket or your bouquet? The best way is to know what types of flowers you have received, since each flower is different.
However, if you can not identify the flowers, follow a general rule of watering your floral basket every 3-4 days. Make sure you feel soil. to prevent drowning them. Those in a vase, change the water every 2-3 days,cutting the stems a little at a slant. Hopefully this technique will keep your flowers longer.

Cutting Fresh Flowers
How beautiful is a bouquet of fresh cut flowers with different colors and types. It gives the house a sense of beauty and peace. Do you know why people tell you to always cut the bottom of the stem at a diagonal and not straight across?
The reason, I found out, is to expose more stem area so that the flower can suck in more water and stay fresh and alive longer. You probably say "everyone knows that". Not true. How many persons have you seen reach for a knife or scissor and cut straight across the stem of the flower?
I was one of them until now. Now I am very careful of how I care for my fresh flowers. Also remember to cut with a very sharp knife or scissor to avoid hurting the stem.
