Flowers are beautiful and professionally designed bouquets are especially seductive. Flowers can also carry huge novelettish meaning because they're frequently given as gifts from people close to us. So it's little wonder that we'd want to extend the life of our flowers and enjoy their aesthetic and novelettish beauty for as long as possible. 
 
 With proper care and attention most flowers will last around 7 days with some kinds lasting for as long as 14 days. Then are some practical way to help extend the life of your cut flowers. 
 Get flowers into water 
 
 After only a short time out of water flowers will begin to dehydrate. Thus it's essential to get flowers into a vase or vessel of water as snappily as possible. When you first get the flowers home use warm water, not cold or hot, as this is the quickest way to desiccate the flowers. Warm water will also promote opening of the blooms as utmost flowers are packed with the blooms in a unrestricted or tight stage. 
Technically speaking the optimum temperature is37.5 C (99.5 F), which is roughly body temperature. At this temperature air bubbles, which may have formed in the stem, tend to bifurcation. Also water that's warmer than the girding air is more readily taken up by the flowers. 
 
 Change the water regularly 
 Try to change the water every two days. The flowers should be well doused by now so you can use cold water rather of warm. This helps keep the flowers cool which is a crucial part of keeping flowers in good condition. 
 
 Use flower preservatives 
Each consignment of Affinity Flowers comes with a sachet of flower preservative. Flower preservative contains two main factors, carbohydrates andante-bacterial complements. 
 
 The carbohydrates act as food which helps to sustain the flowers. The carbohydrates will also stimulate flower heads to open hastily. This is handy when you are trying to open flowers that generally transport with tight blooms like lilies. 
The bactericide element inhibits bacteria developing in the water. Bacteria laden water will beget flowers to deteriorate hastily. Bacteria is also a problem because it can block flower stems and hamper the uptake of water. If left long enough the bacteria will also discolor the vase water and produce an unwelcome odor. 
 
 Simply empty the contents of the flower preservative sachet into the vase water. 
If you do not have flower preservative you could add 1-2 drops of bleach to the water rather. The bleach will act as Ananta-bacterial just like the complements in marketable flower preservatives.
