Direct answer

To keep cut flowers fresh longer in Singapore, **re-cut stems at an angle, change water every 2 days, remove submerged leaves, and keep blooms cool and out of direct sun**.

A clean vase and a sachet of flower food extend vase life by several days in the heat.

How to extend vase life

| Tip | Why it works |
| --- | --- |
| Re-cut stems on arrival | Removes the air lock blocking water uptake |
| Change water every 2 days | Slows bacteria in warm temperatures |
| Use flower food | Feeds blooms and limits bacterial growth |
| Keep cool & shaded | Heat is the biggest enemy of vase life here |
| Away from fruit | Ripening fruit emits ethylene, ageing flowers |

Care in Singapore’s climate

Singapore’s heat shortens vase life, so the single biggest win is keeping flowers cool — away from windows, stoves and aircon vents.
