Nothing brightens up a room quite like fresh flowers! At Camilas Flowers Las Vegas, we want your bouquets to look beautiful for as long as possible. Here are easy, science-backed ways to keep your flowers fresh—even in the desert climate of Las Vegas.

Why Flowers Fade (and How to Stop It)

Flowers wilt when they lose water or get too hot. Las Vegas is dry and sunny, so it’s extra important to give your blooms a little extra TLC. For the science behind flower care, check out this NC State guide.

5 Simple Steps for Longer-Lasting Flowers

  1. Trim the Stems: Cut 1-2 inches off the bottom at a 45-degree angle. This helps flowers drink more water (see how).
  2. Change the Water Daily: Clean water keeps bacteria away. Use room-temperature water for best results.
  3. Keep Flowers Cool: Place arrangements away from direct sunlight, heaters, or air vents. Heat dries flowers out fast!
  4. Remove Fading Blooms: Snip off any wilted flowers or leaves to help the rest stay fresh.
  5. Add Flower Food: If you get a packet with your bouquet, use it! Or, make your own with a teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of bleach (DIY recipe).

Extra Tips for Las Vegas Homes

  • Use a clean vase every time.
  • Mist petals lightly with water for extra hydration.
  • If possible, move flowers to a cool spot overnight.

Did You Know?

  • Some flowers, like lilies and sunflowers, naturally last longer than others.
  • Keeping fruit away from flowers helps them last (fruit gives off ethylene gas, which can make flowers wilt faster).
