This guide provides tips on how to keep your sunflowers in a vase, including trimming stems, watering them regularly, and reviving them. The best time to cut sunflowers is in the morning, as they are more likely to wilt due to heat. Proper watering, light, and temperature requirements are essential for maintaining the vibrant and fresh look of your sunflowers.
Prune your sunflowers with skill to improve water and nutrient absorption, reduce the risk of rot, and delay wilting. Cut the stems with sharp tools and add 1 teaspoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and/or 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the water to keep the flowers looking vibrant and healthy. Avoid direct sunlight, cool drafts, or heat. Mix sugar and lemon into the vase with water to maintain a healthy look.
To prolong a healthy look, change the water daily, trim the bottom of the stems daily or every few days (diagonal cut is best), and use cool water instead of flower preservatives, bleach, or lemon-lime soda. Place the flowers in a vase filled with fresh water and flower preservatives for additional longevity. Change out the water every few days, as well as recut stems and place them in fresh holding solution every two days.
Choose healthy and not wilted flowers to ensure your cut sunflowers last longer. Look for stems with a firm structure and place them in a clean water solution with hydrating agents like Tween-20 or Triton X-100 for 20-30 minutes. By following these tips, you can revive your cut sunflowers and enjoy their vibrant and fresh appearance in no time.
