How to prevent flowers from wilting quickly in a shop?

Hey there! As a supplier of Shop Decoration Flowers, I've seen my fair share of flowers wilting way too soon in shops. It's a real bummer because fresh - looking flowers can totally transform the vibe of a store. So, I'm here to share some tips on how to prevent those beautiful blooms from losing their charm quickly.

First off, let's talk about the water. It might seem obvious, but the quality and quantity of water are super important. You should use clean, lukewarm water for your flowers. Cold water can shock the flowers, and hot water can damage them. Fill the vase about two - thirds full. And don't forget to change the water every two days. Stagnant water can grow bacteria, which will make the flowers wilt faster.

Now, let's think about the location of the flowers in the shop. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight. While sunlight is great for plants in nature, in a shop setting, direct sunlight can cause the water in the flowers to evaporate too quickly. It can also heat up the flowers, which speeds up the aging process. Instead, find a spot with indirect light. A well - lit area near a window that has a curtain or a spot under soft, artificial lighting works well.

Another thing to consider is the temperature of the shop. Flowers generally prefer a cool environment. If your shop is too warm, the flowers will start to wilt faster. Try to keep the temperature between 60 - 70 degrees Fahrenheit (15 - 21 degrees Celsius). You can use a small fan to circulate the air gently, but make sure it's not blowing directly on the flowers. This helps to keep the air fresh and prevents the build - up of humidity around the flowers.

When you're arranging the flowers, make sure you're trimming the stems properly. Use a sharp pair of scissors or pruning shears to cut the stems at an angle. This increases the surface area of the stem that can absorb water. Remove any leaves that will be below the waterline in the vase. Leaves in the water can rot and create a breeding ground for bacteria.

Let's talk about the type of flowers you're using. Some flowers are more delicate and wilt faster than others. For example, roses are a classic for shop decoration, but they can be a bit finicky. You can add a floral preservative to the water for roses. These preservatives usually contain a combination of sugar, acid, and a bactericide. The sugar provides energy for the flower, the acid helps the flower absorb water better, and the bactericide keeps the water clean.

Now, if you're looking for some long - lasting options, silk flowers are a great choice. You can check out our Shop Decoration Props Silk Flower collection. They look just like real flowers but don't require any watering or special care. They'll stay looking fresh for a long time, no matter what the conditions in your shop are.

Another great option is the Silk Narcissus Combination. These silk flowers are not only beautiful but also very durable. They can add a touch of elegance to any shop.

If you're using real flowers, grouping them by type can also help. Different flowers have different water requirements and release different substances into the water. For example, some flowers release ethylene gas, which can cause other flowers to wilt faster. So, keep ethylene - producing flowers like carnations and daffodils away from more sensitive flowers like lilies and tulips.

When you receive new flowers from us, make sure you're unpacking them carefully. Don't let the flowers get crushed or bent during the unpacking process. Once they're unpacked, put them in water as soon as possible. The longer they're out of water, the more stress they'll experience, and the faster they'll wilt.

You can also mist the flowers lightly with water. This helps to increase the humidity around the flowers and keeps them looking fresh. But be careful not to over - mist, as too much moisture can lead to mold growth.

Lastly, keep an eye on the flowers. Check them daily for any signs of wilting or disease. If you notice a flower starting to wilt, remove it from the arrangement. This will prevent the spread of any potential problems to the other flowers.

In conclusion, preventing flowers from wilting quickly in a shop takes a bit of effort, but it's totally worth it. By following these tips, you can keep your shop looking beautiful with fresh - looking flowers for a longer time.
