I’m still learning and this is worth a share. Please comment if you can confirm or deny these suggestions.

A bouquet that wilts in three days and one that holds for two weeks came from the same flowers. The difference is almost never the flower — it's what happens in the first ten minutes after you bring them home.

- Cut stems at a 45-degree angle under running water. A flat cut sits flush against the vase bottom and seals shut.

- Strip every leaf that falls below the waterline. Submerged foliage rots within a day and breeds bacteria that clog every stem in the vase.

- Change the water completely every two days. Rinse the vase. Recut the stems — ends reseal with air and buildup within 48 hours.

- Keep the vase away from direct sun and ripening fruit. Ethylene gas from bananas, apples, and stone fruit triggers petal drop in nearby flowers.

- Never mix daffodils with other flowers in the same water. The stems release a sap that damages every other cut flower sharing the vase. Soak daffodils alone for 12 hours first.

- Lost the flower food packet: two tablespoons white vinegar plus one tablespoon sugar per quart of lukewarm water. Change every two days.

Two weeks is not exceptional. It's what most cut flowers do when the water stays clean and the stems stay open.

Not MVP related per se BUT it is my goal as a business to support other local businesses. Let’s start with my son -in-law. MVP’s can be his MVP as business grows! Please like and share his page. More local businesses to come!

Excited to share that I’ve started a new chapter with eXp Land & Ranch.

After years in trucking, I decided to make a change and move into something that fits my lifestyle a little better—working with land. I’ve always spent my free time outdoors, especially hunting and fishing, so getting to be around that kind of environment more often just made sense.

I’m looking forward to learning, growing, and helping people find the right piece of ground—whether it’s for recreation, investment, or something in between.

If you’re thinking about buying or selling land, feel free to reach out.
