Daily health of flowers
Regardless of potted flowers, bouquets, or flowers in advance, even if they only have a short appreciation period of 5 to 10 days, they are worthy of your careful care.
1. After receiving the potted flowers, choose a suitable place to place them. For bouquets, let it stand by the wall or in a vase.
2. Add about 1 to 2 cups of water every day to the flower arrangement sponge of the potted flower or the handle of the bouquet to maintain the water absorption of the flower.
3. Remove withered flowers and brown stamens of lilies at any time.
4. Add a preservative if necessary.
The advantages of preservatives
The ingredients of various types of preservatives may be different, but the functions are similar:
●Bactericidal and purifying preservatives can inhibit the growth of bacteria and maintain the normal physiological function of cut flowers, so the water quality is not easy to become smelly and black, and it will not make the flower utensils greasy and difficult to wash.
●Adjusting the physiological effect of the preservative can slow down the metabolism of cut flowers, increase the water absorption, and be less prone to drooping. In addition, it can also inhibit the production of ethylene and provide nutrients, so the flowers can be durable, the buds are strong, and the flowers are not easy to fall, so as to achieve the purpose of blooming.
In addition, the preservative should change the water once the liquid is cloudy (about four to seven days).
At home, there are seven or eight practical preservative alternatives for you to choose from:
1. Adding vinegar can inhibit bacterial growth and enhance water absorption.
2. Taking three or five drops of bleach diluted in a water bottle can also inhibit the growth of bacteria, which is quite economical, but do not overdo it!
3. Dilute the white soda water to water by 1~2 times to provide flower nutrients.
4. Adding a little aspirin or salt or alcohol or alum to the water also has the advantages of inhibiting bacteria, maintaining water absorption, and preventing milk coagulation.
You are the best preservative
The use of preservatives to prolong the life of cut flowers is of course an effective method. If there is no preservative, other substitutes can also have good results. But if you don't have anything, don't worry, because your "hands" are the best preservatives: as long as you wash the flower utensils, change the water frequently, and avoid second-hand smoke, your flowers will still be fresh and beautiful. Leaves a lasting flawless finish.
