Longer

Wondering how to make your fresh cut hydrangeas last longer? Here are seven great tips for making hydrangeas last a long time in a vase that will keep them healthy and happy!

#1

Fill a tub with ice water and let the hydrangea stems soak for a bit before arranging them.

#2

Another method is to dip hydrangea stems into boiling water after clipping them. This helps to prevent sap from blocking the stems so they get the right amount of water.

#3

Try crushing the ends of the stem (where you cut them) to allow them to receive more water.

#4

Hydrangeas take in most of their moisture through their petals. Mist the petals with water daily.

#5

When you have your stems prepared (stems and bottom leaves clipped), put them in a water vase with a little sugar added.

#6

Rather than sugar, add some aluminum powder to the water.

#7

If you have wilting petals, try soaking the flower portion in a bowl with water. This will usually perk them right up!
