Took me 3 hours to figure out why my ranunculus stems kept snapping

Turns out my water was too cold straight from the tap. Anyone else have a good temp they aim for?

So you just let the water sit out to warm up first?

My grandma in Florida always swore by room temp water for cut flowers, like around 70 degrees. Did you try using a thermometer to check your tap water, or was it just a feel thing? I'm wondering if the type of flower makes a big difference, because my carnations never seem to care.
