Why Flowers Wilt So Fast and How to Prevent It
Did your bouquet wilt in a single day? That doesn't mean the flowers were bad. Most likely, it comes down to how they were kept: even the freshest roses in Astana can lose their looks within 24 hours without proper care. Here are the 7 most common mistakes.
❌ Warm water
✅ The fix: Use room-temperature water (18–20°C / 64–68°F). Never hot, never ice-cold.
❌ Direct sunlight
✅ The fix: Keep the bouquet in the shade or in diffused light. Sunlight speeds up water evaporation.
❌ Fruit nearby
✅ The fix: Fruit releases ethylene — a gas that accelerates wilting. Keep your bouquet in a different room.
❌ Dirty water
✅ The fix: Change the water every 1–2 days and rinse the vase before refilling it.
❌ Improper trimming
✅ The fix: Cut the stems at a 45° angle with a sharp knife. Not scissors — they crush the stem vessels.
❌ Leaves in the water
✅ The fix: Remove every leaf below the waterline. Submerged leaves rot and breed bacteria.
❌ Drafts and radiators
✅ The fix: Keep the bouquet away from radiators, air conditioners, and drafty spots.
