Flowers or flower arrangements that are received as a gift or for a special occasion can be kept for long periods if they are properly stored. The key to storing flowers is to slow down the flowers development and water loss. One way to do this is by putting the flowers or arrangement in your refrigerator. Just make sure that there is enough room.
Step 1
Fill the flower vase about three-quarters full with water.

Step 2
Place the flowers that you want to keep in the vase.
Step 3
Check the temperature of your refrigerator and make sure that it is set at or below 40 degrees.
Step 4
Clear an area in your refrigerator to set the vase of flowers. Make sure to remove any fruit because they should not be stored with the flowers.
Step 5
Place the vase with the flowers on a shelf in the refrigerator.
Step 6
Keep the flowers in the refrigerator for at least six hours each night. This will allow enough time for the flowers to absorb the water and will stay fresh longer.
