A Guide on Caring for Fresh Cut Peonies from Your Local Flower Shop
Introduction:
Welcome to our floral haven! If you've recently treated yourself to a bouquet of fresh cut peonies from our flower shop, congratulations on choosing one of nature's most enchanting blooms. To ensure your peonies stay vibrant and lovely for as long as possible, follow these simple care tips.
1. Trimming Tips for Peony Perfection:
- Upon receiving your peonies, trim the stems at a 45-degree angle to enhance water absorption.
- Remove any foliage that might be submerged in water to prevent bacterial growth.
2. Hydration is Key:
- Place your peonies in a clean vase filled with room-temperature water.
- Change the water every 2 days to keep it fresh and clear.
3. Perfect Placement:
- Display your peonies away from direct sunlight and drafts.
- Optimal room temperature is between 65-72°F (18-22°C) for prolonged bloom.
4. Feeding the Beauty:
- Use flower food or a homemade solution of sugar and a few drops of lemon juice to nourish your peonies.
- Follow the instructions on the flower food packet for the best results.
5. Give Them Space:
- Peonies appreciate room to breathe. Avoid overcrowding in the vase to allow each bloom to open fully.
6. Handling Petals with Care:
- Peonies have delicate petals; handle them gently to avoid bruising.
- If a bloom begins to wilt, gently remove it to preserve the overall freshness.
7. Extended Elegance:
- To extend the life of your peonies, consider placing them in the refrigerator overnight. This mimics their natural cool nighttime environment.
