Delhi's heat is tough on cut flowers, but a few habits make a real difference: change the water every two days, trim stems at an angle under running water, keep arrangements away from direct sun and AC vents, and mist delicate blooms like roses in the evening.
Water is the whole game in summer
In heat, flowers drink fast. Check the level daily, top up with room-temperature water, and change it completely every two days. A clean vase with fresh water beats fancy additives.
- Change water every 2 days
- Always recut stems before placing in new water
- Keep the vase out of afternoon sun and AC airflow
Mist like Delhi florists do
A light mist over the blooms in the evening mimics the dewy conditions flowers love. It is especially helpful for roses and hydrangea-like heads that lose moisture fast in dry heat.
Know when to say goodbye
Some flowers are at their best for four days in summer and that is fine. Timing your order for when you actually need the bunch — not earlier — is the simplest way to always have fresh flowers.
