How to make cut lilacs last longer?

💜 Lilacs are beautiful, but can quickly lose their vibrancy and beauty once placed in a vase.

Don't deprive yourself of this gift of nature and life to breathe the incomparable scent of lilac in your home. I have a few secrets for you!

Here are some tips to extend the life of cut lilacs:

• First, harvest lilacs when half (1/2) or three-quarters (3/4) of the flowers in the cluster are open.
• Remove as many or all of the leaves from the lilac stems. If you like lilac leaves, then cut stems exclusively of leaves that you can add to your bouquet.
• Using your pruners, recut the ends of the stems by making a VERTICAL incision on the stem 5 to 8 centimeters long.
• Immediately plunge the cut stems into fresh water.
• Feel free to move your flowers to a cooler place overnight. Whether it's outdoors or on a sheltered terrace, for example, so they can breathe fresh air. It is even possible to put them in the refrigerator.

A bouquet of flowers lives for about a week when it is well cared for.

Some flowers are beautiful dried.

Have fun and extend the beauties of nature!
