If your hydrangea in a vase is looking limp and sad, one of the best things you can do is give it a bath.
It may seem a bit strange at first, says an Australia-based content creator, but hydrangeas are a unique flower since they drink not only from their stem but from their leaves and their petals as well.
Bathe the hydrangeas in warm water for about 20 minutes in the bathtub, place them in fresh clean water in a vase, then sit back and watch them reinflate.
This magical tip will give your hydrangeas a longer vase life, allowing you to marvel at them a bit longer.
The content creator said, “This method is so effective, watching them get juicy and plump again.
