What is the recommended water temperature for vase arrangements?

The recommended water temperature for vase arrangements is lukewarm water. This is because lukewarm water helps to facilitate the absorption of water by the flowers, allowing them to take up nutrients more effectively and reducing the risk of shock that can occur if flowers are placed in water that is too cold or too hot. Room temperature water can also be effective, but it may not be as optimal as lukewarm water in maximizing hydration and overall flower longevity. Cold water can slow down the uptake process, while hot water can cause damage to the stem tissues, hindering the flowers' ability to hydrate properly. Using lukewarm water thus strikes the right balance, promoting the vibrant health and longevity of the floral arrangement.
