Why cut stems at a 45° angle?

Stems will dry out when out of water. By re-cutting them at an angle, you are removing dry fibre and creating a larger surface to take up fresh water, therefore prolonging the life of your flowers. For all flower arrangements, simply top up the water level every 3 days to ensure maximum lifespan.
