Start with a clean vase

Before placing the Anthurium flowers in a vase, make sure it’s clean. Any lingering bacteria can put your flowers at an immediate disadvantage. Use warm water and dish soap to thoroughly eliminate all bacteria from the vase. Scrub the vase meticulously and rinse it thoroughly with water.

Find a cool spot for your Anthurium flowers

Of course, you want to showcase your Anthurium flowers in a place where they can be admired to their fullest. However, for flowers, it’s crucial to find a cool and shaded spot, as direct sunlight can scorch their leaves. A shaded spot will significantly extend the lifespan of flowers. If it gets really hot indoors, consider relocating them to a shaded spot outdoors.

Refresh the water daily

Just like us, flowers get thirsty in the summertime. So it’s important to refresh the water in the vase daily. By doing so, your Anthuriums will never be deprived of the water they need, and you’ll also prevent bacteria from multiplying.
