Your neighbor brought you the loveliest white roses. How thoughtful! Want to stretch their shelf life a teensy bit longer? Here’s an easy trick.
What you need: A bouquet of fresh flowers and an empty spot in the fridge.
What you do: Slide said flowers (vase and all) in the fridge overnight, every night, until they start to look droopy. Boom: You’ve bought yourself a couple extra days of floral bliss.
Why it works: The dose of cold temps lets flowers absorb more water, which lengthens their life span. This is especially useful if your home’s heat is particularly dry.
