There's nothing like a bouquet of flowers to perk up your mood and liven up your home! Plus, it's also one of the most wonderful and heartfelt gifts we can receive on special occasions.

Sadly, we all know that blooms don't last forever. But with a little work and a good deal of TLC, you can keep your beloved blossoms fresh and blooming for longer!

We've provided a simple guideline to help you sustain your beloved flowers' vibrance for a longer time. Enjoy your lovely bouquet to the fullest by following these easy steps!

If you're interested in a formal course or want to get certified as an expert on all things about flowers, we recommend looking into professional bodies and colleges in gardening and floristry such as the American Institute of Floral Designers of the AIFD (www.aifd.org), the American Floral Endowment (www.endowment.org), and other similar organizations offering programs specializing in floristry.

Containers accumulate a lot of dust and debris that can make your water cloudy and infect your flowers. Even if your vase is newly-bought, be sure to wash it for safety.

Cleaning your vase is actually effortless and inexpensive - you'll have everything you need around the house! Just wash with hot water, a lid of bleach, and let it dry.

Another DIY cleaning alternative is a salt and vinegar paste. Just mix a tablespoon of salt with a tablespoon of vinegar, spread the mixture to your vase with a clean cloth or brush, and let it set for half an hour. Afterwards, rub it off until all residue is removed, rinse out with tepid water, and let dry.
