Change the water: Rinse the vase, replace the water and add fresh flower food (if available) every 2-3 days.

Recut stems: Trim another half-inch off the stems at an angle every time you change the water.

Remove dying blooms: Pull out any wilting flowers immediately to protect the healthy ones.

Choose the right spot: Keep the vase away from direct sunlight, heating vents, appliances, and ripening fruit bowls that release ethylene gas.
