Mother's Day Tip: How To Keep Cut Flowers Fresh

You just spent a pretty penny on that gorgeous flower arrangement for mom. How do you make it last?

Follow these easy tips from Robin Ben-Horin, owner of the Flower Basket in Northport:

Re-cut the stems about a quarter inch every two days.

Keep the arrangement out of direct sunlight

Keep the arrangement in a cool spot.

With these tips, mom's flowers can last up to two weeks.
