Immediately place snapdragon cuttings in fresh room-temperature water to keep the flowers hydrated before arranging.
Leave the stems in water for several hours to allow the flowers to condition themselves to life in a cut flower arrangement.
Remove any leaves that will sit below the waterline to prevent bacteria growth.
Add flower food to the water to help extend the life of the flowers.
