As the chill settles in Toronto this November, it's the perfect time to bring warmth and beauty indoors with fresh cut flowers and potted plants. To help you keep your blooms vibrant throughout the month, here are some quick and easy care tips.
For Cut Flowers
Trim Stems: When you bring flowers home, cut the stems at an angle to help them better absorb water. Re-cut them every few days to keep them fresh.
Change Water Regularly: Replace the water in the vase every two days to prevent bacteria buildup. Clean, fresh water is key to prolonging the life of your flowers.
Keep Cool: Avoid placing cut flowers near direct sunlight or heat sources, like radiators or heating vents. Cooler temperatures help cut flowers last longer.
For Indoor Plants
Monitor Watering: Indoor air can become dry from heating, so check the soil moisture regularly. Water only when the top inch of soil is dry to the touch.
Maximize Natural Light: With shorter daylight hours, be sure to place your plants in well-lit areas. South- and west-facing windows are ideal during winter.
Avoid Drafts: Keep plants away from chilly windows or doors to prevent temperature stress.
