Methods For Hydrangea Fluffing?

To revive wilted hydrangeas, follow these simple steps:

1. Submerge the stems in water or place them in hot water to perk up droopy blooms.

2. Delay wilting by dipping hydrangea stems in alum, sticking them in the refrigerator, or adding a floral preservative to your vase of water.

3. Improve water uptake by cutting stems at an angle, removing leaves, and misting your flowers daily.

4. Trim the stems at an angle using a sharp knife and adding a small slit in the stem helps it suck up more water.

7. Soak the blooms in warmish water for 30 to 40 minutes.
