DIY Fruit and Floral Arrangement Ingredients

You will need:

  1. Red Grapefruit ( I used 3)
  2. 2 Glass vases, one that fits inside the other.
  3. Flowers
  4. Scissors
  5. Water

Place the smaller glass container inside the larger one. Fill both with water. I started out by filling half way. Slice and arrange fruit in the outer section. Cut flowers at an angle and remove any leaves from the stems. Add flowers to the center vase. Fill with water in both areas to cover the fruit and enough to cover most of the flower stems.

You can use any fruit, I thought the red grapefruit matched the carnations that I chose. The pink/red combo looks so fresh together.

This is a great way to make a couple of $4 bunches of flowers look so much better. I added the Baby’s Breath for a cheap filler. We all know that carnations last for a long time and they are easy on the pocket book.

How Long Will The Fruit Last?

Cut grapefruits can last in a DIY fruit floral arrangement for up to a week, depending on the freshness of the fruit and the condition of the flowers. To extend the life of your arrangement, make sure to change the water every few days and trim the stems of the flowers and grapefruit to promote better water absorption.

You can also add a floral preservative to the water to help keep the flowers and grapefruit fresh for longer. However, it’s important to keep in mind that citrus fruits like grapefruit can sometimes start to break down and lose their color after a few days, so it’s best to enjoy your arrangement while it’s still fresh and vibrant.
