 There are lot's of tricks for making fresh cut flowers last longer, but here are few that you may have lying around the house already...
In order from best to worst: 1. Fridge: Put your bouquet in the fridge every night before bed. Flowers thrive in cooler temperatures. It is thought that the low temps help slow the aging. Yes please 2. Soda: Pour ¼ cup of soda in a vase full of fresh flowers. The sugar in soda is said to make your blooms last longer and even smelling sweeter too. 3. Vodka: Add a few drops (of any clear spirit) to your vase of flowers. These spirit’s ability to inhibit ethylene production, a ripening gas that helps plants mature, slows the wilting of the flowers. The more you know. 4. Coins: Add a copper penny to your fresh bouquet. The copper should act as an acidifier, fighting the bacteria growth in your arrangement. It may also help your flowers to open up quickly. Finally, a use for our pennies! Do you have any fun tips? Tell us!  We stopped by the *NEW* Wake location in Flourtown yesterday (808 Bethlehem Pike Flourtown, PA 19031) , which is ahhhhhhmazing. The owners, Christina & Alec, did such a great job transforming the space, and giving it that Wake vibe we all love! There are so many fun touches, including one we fell in LOVE with ... upcycling an old filing cabinet into a planter box!
Christina created a small patio near the entrance, which is framed out with a few of these filing cabinets, and it is the most adorable thing ever! Getting the idea from a Tik Tok video, Christina was able to complete the entire project for under $100. Look for free filing cabinets and then add a touch of paint, dirt and all the flowers you love. Excuse us while we immediately hunt for used filing cabinets, so that we can recreate these at our homes... |
