Bacteria and viruses can attack fresh cut flowers as they would attack any one of us. Mixed flowers in a vase pass viruses to each other. Just like we pass viruses or the flu to each other.

Any leaf of a flower that is submerged or touches water will rut. This rutting produces bacteria that will kill your flowers. If the vase water is not changed frequently a slimy substance (Bacteria) surrounds the end of the stem and flowers will be deprived of water and food. That beautiful flower arrangement that you just spent $200 dollars for is ruin in a day or two. Because the flower shop that you bought your flower arrangement at was not careful when he or she was putting together your flower arrangement.

Fruit and your fresh cut flowers do not mix. Do not for any reason ever keep your flowers next to fruit. The fruit release gases that are harmful to your flowers and will kill them quickly. Always change the water from your vase once a day. If you wait too long your vase will get that slimy bacteria, so try to change it every day. But if you’re lazy or just real busy then don’t wait more than three days to change the water and please clean the vase!

Many years ago I bought beautiful Christmas flowers that I brought to my house and I left next to a bowl of fruit in my kitchen (What a big mistake that was!). While I was looking for a place to put my new flower arrangement. I left it next to the bowl fruit for no more than half hour. Well the very next day my beautiful Christmas flowers were ruin. I was so upset I just spent hundred fifty bucks on these flowers and now they were ruin! I didn’t understand what happen. So I went down to my local florist and I told them what happen. After me explaining the whole story to them, they told me the fruit gave the flowers a bacteria that killed them. They were very nice and they understood my anger. They even replace my flower arrangement.

This is how you avoid having your flowers killed by a virus. Wash the vase with some bleach. Bleach kills any bacteria that are clinging to the vase. Add acids to the water right away. A table spoon of lemon juice or vinegar, couple a drops of Listerine will keep the water fresh and bacteria free. Your flower will last much longer.

Talk with your local florist about any concerns you may have with your flowers. A Florist is very knowledgeable about flowers and that can really help you avoid making big mistakes with your flower arrangements. Ask around with all the local florist in my city I ask the same questions to three or four florist.
