How to keep fresh Flowers

Flowers can not only decorate our indoor environment, but also bring me a good mood for the day. Although the flowers look dazzling, they are easy to wither after a period of time, droop slowly and lose their luster. So how to keep flowers fresh? The editor summed it up for you today.

1. Broken branch method: for some flowers and trees with fragile branches, the flower branch used to insert the vase is selected and should be broken by hand. In this way, the pedicel is not under pressure, the catheter remains normal, and it is easy to absorb water.

two。 End smashing method: smash the end of the pedicel (about an inch) to expand the water absorption area. General woody flower branches such as magnolia, hydrangea, cloves, peony, wisteria, etc., can be used more often.

3. Fresh flower preservative: add an appropriate amount of chemicals to the flower arrangement solution to inhibit the flower branches and prolong the fresh-keeping time. If the antistaling agent is not available, it can be preservative with potassium permanganate 1/4000 aqueous solution, or a simple antistaling agent prepared with aspirin 1/3000 aqueous solution, which can also make it bloom.

4. Scalding method: soak the base of herbaceous flowers in boiling water for about 10 seconds, or soak in hot water for 2 minutes, and then soak them in cold water, which can play an infarcted incision and prevent flower tissue juice from overflowing. It is mainly used for hot water soaking of herbaceous flowers.

5. Tea method: rootless flowers inserted in a vase are easy to wither. In general, the flowering period of clear water is only three or four days before gradually withering. If you use tea (you can also use freshly brewed tea, but only after the tea has completely cooled) instead of clear water, you can delay the withering time of flower arrangement, and the tea should be thicker. With tea to arrange flowers, the flowers will not wither in 7 days, and the flowers are bright and fragrant.

6. First aid method: when the flower hangs its head, you can cut off a short section at the end of the flower branch, and then put it in a container full of cold water, leaving only the flower head exposed on the surface of the water. After 1-2 hours, the flower branch will wake up. Grass and woody flowers are applicable.

7. Beer law: put a little beer in a bottle with flowers, or put the flowers in a beer bottle with foam, and then add the right amount of water, and you will find that the shelf life of these flowers has been extended. This is because beer contains ethanol, which can disinfect and preserve flower branch incisions, as well as sugar and other nutrients, which can provide nutrients for branches and leaves.

8. Refrigerator fresh-keeping method: when the whole family goes out, take out the bottle flower arrangement and put it in the refrigerator in a plastic bag, which can be kept for several days. After coming back, it can be taken out and inserted in a vase, which can be lifelike.

In addition, the flower arrangement material should choose only 70 or 80% of the flowers. When the flower arrangement is in full bloom, it should not be placed in a sunny window, so as not to wilt the flowers early. 3-4 days in winter, 1-2 days in summer to change the water, do not add enough, in order to facilitate flower arrangement for a long time.

In order to let the flower bloom for a long time, when cutting the flower branch, the cut had better be cut into a 45-degree slope, which can expand the water absorption area and crack the base of the flower stem to help absorb water. Adding a small amount of sugar to the water used for flower arrangement can replenish the nutrients needed by the flowers.

Adding a small amount of salt can prevent the growth of bacteria, and if a small amount of vitamin C is added, it will have an even greater protective effect on flowers. After the flowers are planted, they should be placed in a place with good ventilation and suitable light. Water should be changed frequently to prevent flowers and leaves from falling into the water and polluting the water source. When changing water, cut off part of the incision that is not fresh at the base, and then insert it into the water.

Cut flowers with a sharp knife instead of scissors, preferably in the early morning or evening. The extract was treated with 20 ℃ of cold boiled water. The leaves inserted into the water should be cut off. Do not put fruit where you put the cut flowers, stay away from the TV. The best indoor temperature is 15-20 ℃. If a small amount of sugar or one or two aspirin tablets are added to the flower arrangement solution, it will help to keep it fresh and make the flower color more colorful.
