If you deeply enjoy the field of floristry or the intricacies of flower arranging, then it’s a good thing that this article has found its way to you. Today, we are ‘uprooting’ our knowledge on long-lasting flowers for your home, alongside ways to stretch their lifespan even further.
Let’s be honest, when we make a ‘cut’ flower arrangement, we are essentially altering a flower’s longevity for our own soul-fulfilling joy. And therefore these flowers (at the very least) deserve proper upkeep and gentle tendering so they can retain their colour, composure and fragrance.
For a myriad of reasons, different flowers have varying degrees of vase life. We are here to unravel the finest long-lasting blooms for your home.
Chrysanthemums come in almost every shade of colour and are therefore a widely available flower at a reasonable cost. Their natural longevity adds to their appeal. Mums can thrive up to two weeks when properly tended. Changing their water regularly and removing wilted petals as they age will keep their colour and form lasting even longer.
The sleek and modern appearance of the orchid brings sophistication to any space. Handling them gently and a little less than their floral counterparts will help them last up to two weeks, or more. Changing their water every few days and keeping them away from direct sunlight or ripening fruit and vegetables is ultimately what makes them happy.
The beauty of carnations is entrancing, and the fact that they have a comparatively long lifespan makes them even more captivating. Trim their stems diagonally or opt for a straight cut when you’re regularly refreshing their water so they can last up to ten or more days.
Also known as Alstroemeria or lily of the Incas, has a remarkable resilience of up to two weeks or more in a cut vase arrangement. Because the buds don’t all open up at once but sequentially over time, they ensure a continuous evolving display of colour and composition. Simple upkeep like keeping the water clean, trimming the stems and removing submerged foliage will help these blooms outlast almost every other companion flower. Pro tip- remove the pollen-bearing anthers whenever possible, as they make the flower age faster.
The striking demeanour of an anthurium frequently lasts anywhere between three weeks and a full month in a vase. This incredible durability comes from their glossy, heart-shaped ‘petal,’ which is actually a tough, modified leaf protected by a natural waxy coating that efficiently seals in moisture. Supported by exceptionally rigid, sturdy stems that resist bacterial clogging.
Once flowers are arranged into a vase, maintaining and tending to their upkeep is a short but important commitment. Here are a few tips so your flowers can last that much longer once they’re starting to look past their prime.
