To ensure your ranunculus flowers last as long as possible, start by trimming the stems at a 45-degree angle under running water. This helps to maximize water absorption. Place them in a clean vase filled with fresh, lukewarm water, and add a floral preservative if available.
Keep the vase in a cool spot away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and drafts. Change the water every two to three days, and re-trim the stems to maintain their freshness. Remove any wilted flowers or leaves to prevent bacterial growth.
With proper care, ranunculus can last from 7 to 10 days, providing a beautiful display of color and texture throughout their vase life.
