It can be very touching to get a floral arrangement from someone special. That's why you just want to make the lovely surprise to stay around for a very long time. They make the room look more beautiful and smell so nice. There are various tricks on making those flowers San Francisco florists are offering stay fresh and eye-catching for several days.

A very simple way to preserve blooms and keep them from disintegrating is by using your favorite hairspray on them. However, make sure that you apply the product on the underside of the leaves and flowers only. Place the container about a foot away from the bouquet and spray away. The same product you use for maintaining your hairstyle can also preserve a floral arrangement very well.

Pouring soda into the vase can help make the floral gift stay with you for a while. You simply have to add 1/4 cup of soda to the water in your vase. If your vase is transparent, consider opting for colorless soda in order to ward off discoloration of your water.

Apple cider vinegar is very good at preserving that beautiful gift from a special someone. Because most blooms offered by florists in San Francisco do not come cheap, it is certainly a smart move on your part to make them stay around for a while. A simple way of doing so is by adding 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to the water in your vase. It's also recommended for you to add 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix the solution very well. Don't forget to replace the solution with a fresh one after a few days for longer-lasting blooms.

Adding some drops of vodka into the blooms' water is another trick. Since vodka is a very strong type of alcohol, it possesses amazing antibacterial capabilities. Eliminating bacteria present in the water can help delay the withering of flowers. You should also add a couple of tablespoons of sugar to have those blooms nourished.

Aspirin is a wonderful preserver of a lovely floral arrangement. All you need to do is turn an aspirin tablet into powder by crushing it. The resulting powder should be completely dissolved in your vase's water. Every other day, try replacing the water with a new one and dissolve powdered aspirin in it.

Bleach is an excellent home disinfectant and deodorizer. This product may also be used to preserve those flowers obtained from an excellent San Francisco florist. All you need to do is get a liter of water and add 1/4 teaspoon of bleach in it. Stir and pour some of it into your vase. A lot of people say that placing a teaspoon of table sugar to the mix can work wonders in keeping the freshness of blooms intact.

It may sound strange but dropping a copper penny in your vase can make those blooms last. That's because copper is known to help ward off the multiplication of bacteria. It is also said that adding a cube of sugar together with the copper penny can help preserve those sweet-smelling blooms better.
