Trim the Stems: Cut the stems at an angle before placing them in a vase to promote water absorption.
Remove Submerged Leaves: Strip any leaves that would sit below the waterline to prevent decay and bacteria growth.
Change Water Regularly: Replace the water every two to three days to keep the daisies fresh and prolong their bloom time.
Use Flower Food: Add floral preservative to help nourish the flowers and maintain their vitality.
Keep in a Bright Spot: Place the daisies in a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight and heat, which can cause them to wilt quickly.
