Rant: I finally switched from tap water to filtered for my flower buckets
For years I just filled my buckets straight from the sink, thinking the chlorine didn't matter much. Then a few months back, I had a big wedding order of white roses that started to droop way too fast, like within a day of processing them. My mentor from my old shop in Austin called me out on it, saying she could smell the chlorine from across the room. She told me to try a simple Brita filter pitcher, just for the flower water, as a test. I started doing it for all my incoming stems, and honestly, the difference is real. My delphiniums and lisianthus are lasting a full two days longer before I even see a hint of wilt. It's a small extra step, but seeing those roses stand up straight for the client's whole weekend made it worth it. Has anyone else tried this and noticed a specific flower that really perks up with filtered water?
