How to care for your flowers in hot climates
At Studio Flor, we know that the Mediterranean heat can be a challenge for keeping your flowers fresh and radiant, whether in a bridal bouquet, event decor, or a centerpiece at home. That's why we're sharing some practical tips to make your flowers last longer even on the hottest days.
1. Constant hydration 💧
Flowers need plenty of water in summer. Place the stems in clean water and change it daily. Add a packet of floral preservative if you have it, or a few drops of lemon and sugar as a homemade alternative.
Studio Flor Tip: Cut the stems diagonally before placing them in water to improve absorption.
2. Avoid direct sunlight ☀️
Although we love Mediterranean light, direct sunlight quickly wilts the petals. Place your flowers in a cool location, away from brightly lit windows or near heat-generating appliances.
3. Lightly mist the petals 🌸
A little water mist helps maintain freshness, especially for flowers like hydrangeas. Do this gently to avoid damaging more delicate flowers like roses.
4. Remove wilted flowers 🌿
Removing flowers that are beginning to fade prevents the aging process of other flowers from accelerating. This way, your bouquet or centerpiece will look beautiful longer.
5. Hardy flowers for summer 🌻
Some varieties tolerate heat better:
- Sunflowers
- Carnations
- Chrysanthemums
- Eucalyptus and Mediterranean greens
If you're looking for long-lasting decor for summer weddings and events, these flowers are a perfect choice.

Caring for your flowers in warm climates requires attention and small daily gestures: clean water, freshness, and avoiding direct sunlight.
