Care and conditioning tips for cut flowers

People often hesitate to buy fresh flowers because they think they can't get them to last more than a couple of days. Some flowers are shortlived, but most commercially grown flowers will last at least a week if treated right.

Conditioning is the term florists use to mean getting the flowers ready for arranging. By following these few simple steps you can get extra life and pleasure from your flowers.
