Is better to use warm water that will help improve absorption. In some types of flowers, such as roses or those that have bulbs, it is better to use cold water.
It is essential to renew the water every two days and remember to clean the vase each time you change the flowers, in this way you will be able to eliminate bacteria and microorganisms that may have been generated over time and prevent leaves from being submerged in the water.

Once your flowers are airy and moist, you should prepare their stems to place them in the vase.
To keep them in the best condition, it is recommended that you make a diagonal cut, using scissors or a knife.
