Can I keep cut flowers in the refrigerator?

Too keep them looking as nice as possible until she gets home you should cut about half an inch off the bottom of each stalk, put them in a vase with water and add any pounder packet that may be included in the package. Once they are in the vase with water keep them in the fridge until she gets home or you are ready for people to see them.

Add a teaspoon of household bleach to a vase of water. Make sure the water is slightly warm. Add a teaspoon of sugar and a dash of vinegar. Trim the ends off the stems and put the flowers in the vase. Keep in a cool, dark place. Don't refrigerate the flowers as a household refrigerator is too dry for flowers. Change the water daily (also adding bleach, sugar and vinegar). The bleach is to kill any bacteria in the water, the sugar is to feed the flowers and the vinegar is to make the water more acidic to suit the flowers needs. Use warm water, not cold as there are less air bubbles in hot water. Air bubbles in the water can cause blockages in the flowers' stem and prevent them from taking up the water properly. Have fun!

Flowers keep best when cut with a sharp knife - don't use a serrated knife - and immediately put into water. Always cut on a slant, as it exposes more stem area. Remove leaves that will be under water. Do not remove thorns from roses as it shortens their life.

If you don't get a packet with your flowers; add 3tblspns sugar 1/2 cup white vinegar to the water.

Can I keep fresh flowers in the refrigerator over night without a vase.?

buy them the day you're going to give them to her. The florist or grocery store will give you a packet of powder to put in their water to make them last a little longer. Good idea to clip a half inch off the bottoms of the stems when changing the water and adding the powder.

the first answer is very thoughtful. but if i were your wife i would be upset that you got to open my flowers. WTF. You can put the box in the fridge to help it some. I'm sure they want to breath but the fridge is where I had my cut flowers for my wedding i got 2 days in advance. almost 2 days. it was like 30 hours or so. but either way they were fresh when i took them out!
