Walked into a flower market in Philly and noticed they keep their hydrangeas in coffee filters
The owner said it keeps the stems from sealing shut and I tried it on my own batch yesterday, the blooms lasted 4 extra days, has anyone else tested this trick?

Wait, coffee filters actually work for that? That's a pretty neat trick honestly since hydrangeas are super finicky about wilting. I'm definitely trying this next time I grab some from the market.

Respectfully @rileygarcia, I've tried it and they drooped faster for me.

@rileygarcia actually I think that trick is overrated since those filters hold moisture against the stems and rot them faster than wilting.
