A simple way to keep flowers fresh to make your flowers bloom longer

The flowers bought from the florist always wither in less than a few days, which is very distressing for flower lovers.

If you want to prolong the opening time of flowers, you must first understand the reasons for the malaise of flowers. After the flowers and branches and leaves are cut away from the plant, the metabolism and water transpiration of the plant continue, miscellaneous bacteria are easy to invade the plant vessel from the cut of the pedicel, and the reproduction of microorganisms will cause the tissue of the incision to rot, resulting in poor water absorption and make the flowers wither quickly.

According to these reasons, we can take some measures to avoid or reduce this phenomenon, then we can prolong the viewing period of flowers.

Underwater shearing

Shearing can prevent air from entering the stem tissue. Especially for Platycodon grandiflorum, Dahlia and other summer flowers.

Enlarged section

The cutting section at the end of the stem and branch of the flower is larger during shearing, in order to increase the water absorption of the flower branch and replenish the water needed for the transpiration of flowers and branches and leaves.

① oblique cut

Herbs and woody plants with thin stems often cut diagonally or break the flower branches by hand, which can avoid damaging the vessel system by shearing and compressing the branches.

② cross cut

Woody flowers with thicker stems should be cut into cross cuts.

③ end smash

This method is suitable for green peaches, hydrangea, cherry blossoms and so on.

Dip the end

The end of the stem and branch was immersed in boiling water of about 80 ℃ for more than ten seconds in order to make the cell tissue at the end of the flower stem die at a higher temperature and seal.

Roasted end

Burn the end with fire for about 1 minute until the end is scorched.

For plants that will flow out of milk after shearing, such as poinsettia, oleander, rubber trees, etc., this method must be used to stop the outflow of milk, so as to ensure the supply of nutrition and water for branches.

Chemical treatment

Put 3% aspirin tablets, 2% potassium permanganate or a small amount of soju in the flower arrangement water.

Usually, we should pay attention to the frequent change of water for flower arrangement. when changing water, we can remove the rotten flower branches and cut back the incision.
