Hydrangeas are one of our favorite flowers because they're just so full and beautiful. But these blooms can be pretty pricey, and it's the absolute worst when they droop after just a couple of days.

Luckily, we have a trick to revive those droopy flowers so they can last for weeks! Yes...weeks! You can read the full tutorial right here.

When you first buy your hydrangeas, we always recommend cutting the stems on an angle and putting them into fresh water. Also use the plant food from the store (you can always ask for extra packets so you always have some on hand!)

Then be sure to change the water daily in order to keep your blooms looking good.

Inevitably, your hydrangeas will start to droop. But that's when you can try out our little trick to revive them.

Take your scissors and cut the stem again at an angle. Then take a bowl of cold water and submerge the petals into the bowl. You'll want to keep the hydrangea petals in there for at least a few hours...preferably overnight.

In the morning, dry off your flowers and put them back in your vase. They may still seem droopy, but we promise they will start to look better in a short amount of time.
