Why Flowers become Droopy?

Unfortunately, nature has it that flowers gradually become droopy over time and will eventually wilt. There are a few reasons for this and is especially true with cut flowers; flowers that are kept in a vase filled with water. They differ from outdoor flowers as cut flowers are detached from the roots, indicating that they are unable to get the sufficient nutrients required to maintain its growth. Losing more water than they are absorbing is also another contributing factor and is an issue that flower owners desperately try to fix.

Although all flowers have the same inevitable outcome, there are ways to revive wilted flowers. At Gift Flowers Singapore, your one-stop online florist based in Singapore, we are more than happy to be your flower care guide and share with you some tips on how to bring your flowers back to life.

What to do with Wilting Flowers?

Not a gardener and frazzled about how to fix your flowers? You don’t exactly need to have green fingers, but a couple of indoor flower care tips are essential and easy to learn. Follow our simple step-by-step guide on how to take care of the flowers in a vase and to give them a little TLC.

1. Snip away any dead leaves so that the rest of the flower can get all the nutrients it needs.
2. Recut the stems. Remember to cut the stem at an angle, approximately 2 centimetres from the already cut end of the dying flower. The angles cut ensures that the stem does not become sealed off.
3. Place the flowers at a cool area. Avoid places where there are extreme temperatures such as strong, direct sunlight or cooling vents.
4. Dissolve three teaspoons of sugar fully in lukewarm water and fill the vase. The sugar will help revive the dying flowers and give it a good boost.
5. Don’t forget to give your flowers some much needed flower food and keep track of changing the water every few days. Repeat the process as necessary.
