1. Before arranging, cut flower stems at an angle. This will open the bottoms of the stems and allow the flower to bloom.
2. When arranging, start with the greenery (pink wax flower is a nice alternative to the more common baby's breath for a delicate, Victorian-type arrangement)
3. Leave under the water line will rot more quickly so remove excess leaves lower on the stems.
4. If using foam for your arrangement, it's helpful to soak it in water and plant food before placing it at the bottom of the vase.
5. Keep the water level in the vase at about 1/2 full.
6. As the water line lowers, you can just add to the water. You don't need to change it.
7. Adding a penny to the water in an arrangement with tulips will make the tulips last longer.
8. Don't mix roses with any of the greenery or other flowers until you are ready to arrange them because the fumes will make the roses die more quickly.
