February is the month for flowers and Dennis Thompson, owner of White House Flowers gives some tips on how to keep flowers healthy and fresh.
- Fresh cut orchids and roses last the longest
- In warm desert temperatures bacteria tends to grow in the water and it should be changed every few days. Arrangements should be fed when water is changed
- Use warm water in the container because it helps flowers drink
- Cut stems with a sharp knife for a clean cut. Scissors pinch the stem and flowers can’t drink the water
