I used to just dump flower food in the water, but my friend in Portland showed me a better way.

She taught me to mix the powder with warm water first, which dissolves it completely and keeps the stems from clogging. Has anyone else found a simple trick that made a big difference for your arrangements?

My friend Sarah always had her tulips droop in a day. A florist told her to wrap the whole bouquet in newspaper and dunk it in cold water for an hour. They stood up straight for a full week after that trick.

Actually, tulips keep growing after cutting so they'll always bend a bit.
