The general cheerful look of the plant convinces that you are holding a high-quality cut. Buy flowers in shops where the correct storage temperature is observed at – 5 – 10 degrees Celsius.

Lilies in the vase, how to treat them?
After lilies reached the final destination, the lifespan of the bouquet depends on whether the person knows how to care for them in the vase.

Trim the stems daily, remove the faded fragments and change the water.
