Have you received a bouquet of beautiful flowers? It is so nice when you are loved, appreciated, and shown sincere care! Now, don’t forget to take care of the gift. After all, the duration of its life depends on your actions. Get to know how to properly take care of the flowers by reading this article made by Serenata Flowers.
What are the main rules?
In winter, do not immediately bring the flowers into the warmth. The change in temperature should be gradual. Overcome the temptation to place the bouquet right in the center of the festive table! Well, okay, quickly demonstrate it to the guests, and then give the flowers some rest. Wrap the bottom of the stems with a wet cloth and place them in a dark, cool place for 2 hours, you can even put them in the refrigerator. Roses can be placed in a deep vessel of water, but so that their buds remain outside. After resting, rearrange the bouquet in a vase – not necessarily in your favorite, but in the one where the flowers will feel quite free. But first, use a sharp knife to remove the lower leaves and trim the stems obliquely. This should be done underwater to avoid the formation of air bubbles that clog the vessels of flowers.
What to do with flowers from the delivery?
If fresh flowers were delivered to you, but they began to wilt ahead of time, most likely there is a cut on the stem, into which air has entered and clogged the vessels. Find it and cut the stem underwater above the damaged area. Then let the plant soak in a bowl of warm water.
The water in the vase should be at room temperature. There is also a trick here: the water will be fresh for 2-3 days if you add a piece of charcoal, a few crystals of potassium permanganate, or half an aspirin tablet for 3 liters of water. You can buy a special supplement at the flower shop that will significantly prolong the freshness of the flowers. Watch the water level and add fresh water as it evaporates, especially on hot days.
How to treat flowers?
Roses, carnations, and many other flowers love sprinkling. Arrange such a “shower” 3-4 times a day. Keep in mind that white and pink roses cost less than flowers with darker, denser petals. For roses and chrysanthemums, you must not only cut off the stems but also split their tips with a knife by 3-4 centimeters or scratch with a pin. Remove the thorns from the roses if the florists have not done it.
Alstroemeria is a strong flower and requires almost no maintenance.
Peonies, stunning in beauty and aroma, after the blooming of the buds, begin to lose their petals. To avoid a sad picture, place the flowers in a cool place for a day.
Irises love cold water, just like tulips. Its level should be low, like that of gerberas.
Direct sunlight will damage flowers, but in general, the room should be bright. The most comfortable air temperature for flowers is the air temperature – 18-19 ° С, at night it is advisable to remove the bouquet to an even cooler place – with a temperature of 10-15 °.
