If you’ve been living in the UAE for quite some time, you know for sure how extreme summer here can get. The temperature rises above 40°C, which is not very suitable for fresh flowers. You received a fresh bouquet of flowers as a gift; sure, it looks gorgeous for a few hours, but it can easily droop if it’s not properly taken care of due to the heat.
Don’t worry, there’s great news! There are some ways to keep your fresh flowers staying a little longer, even during the summer months. Flower care is more needed during this time of the year as high temperatures and dry indoor air can quickly dehydrate the flowers. The freshly delivered bouquet may have a higher tendency to wilt in a shorter span of time.
Here’s a little flower care guide we have come up with to help you preserve your fresh flowers and enjoy them a little more.
As soon as your flower delivery arrives, don’t leave the bouquet wrapped too long. Remove the flowers from the packaging right away in order for the stems to breathe and get into the water. Some flowers need more water than others to hydrate, such as roses and hydrangeas.
Trim the stems slightly at an angle before placing them in a vase. Cutting the stems at an angle helps flowers to absorb water better.
Direct sunlight is a little harsh on fresh flowers, especially with the heat. It can result in petals drying out quickly and wilting so soon. It is recommended to display the fresh flowers in a vase away from the windows and place them on a cooler corner with indirect light instead, such as on coffee tables and center tables.
Changing the water on a daily basis will help keep the fresh flowers looking pristine and fresher. Clean water avoids the growth of bacteria that can ruin and shorten the life of fresh flowers.
If you ever spot a flower beginning to wilt, remove it immediately. Why? It helps to prevent bacteria from spreading to the healthy blooms, which is usually the cause of spoilage. Checking the fresh flowers on a routine will make them stay longer and fresher.
To enjoy your fresh blooms longer during the summer season in the UAE, here are some of the flowers that can stand and handle UAE heat. Some flowers naturally thrive and resist the summer heat better than others.
