First, choose flowers

Choose flowers

If you want flowers to bloom in your hands for a long time, you need to observe them carefully when you buy them. You should choose flowers with clean stems, leaves and water in the flower barrel of the flower shop, and then observe the growth and state of the flowers. Real flowers always reveal a fresh breath, full of flowers and petals.

Second, cutting.

The incision is inclined at a 45-degree angle.

After the flowers arrive, they should be trimmed as soon as possible. Pruning is also a technical activity. When cutting flowers, it is best to cut the incision into a 45-degree inclined plane to prevent the harm of bacteria, and also to expand the water absorption area and keep the water absorption pipeline of the flowers unblocked, so that the life of the flowers is longer.

But for some woody flowers, such as Muxiuqiu and Chimonanthus praecox, it is not enough to just "look up at 45 degrees". We can use a small stone in the middle to split the cut of the flower branch longitudinally, or smash it with a hammer at the end of 3-4cm to maximize the water absorption area.

1. For flower branches that do not secrete milk, they can be cut in water to prevent air from entering the stem tip through the incision and block the stem from inputting the required water.

2. Carnations should not be pruned on branches, and chrysanthemums should be cut off by hand instead of knives and scissors.

Third, disinfection.

Fragile flowers are afraid of infection.

People are prone to infection when they have wounds, and so are flowers, so it is necessary to disinfect the incision. Commonly used methods include hot water scalding, fire burning, salt coating, vinegar soaking, acid or alkali coating, etc. To ensure that the end of the flower branch soaked in water is not easy to be infected.

1, combustion method

Rub a little alcohol on the incision and burn it in the flame. When the incision approaches darkness, insert the vase. But this method is only applicable to woody plants or plants with thick branches, such as cloves, plum blossoms, peonies, chrysanthemums and so on.

2, hot branch method

Put 2-3cm at the end of the flower branch in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then immediately soak it in cold water and insert it into a vase. This method is suitable for flowers with soft stems, such as tulips and peony flowers.

Fourth, save water.

Remember, there is only one "nutrient"

Everything is ready. It's time to plant flowers. It is best to use tap water for flower arrangement for one day. Flower shops will use flower preservatives. If they don't have it at home, they can add a small amount of salt, sugar and so on. Supplement the nutrients needed by flowers and inhibit bacteria ... but remember that you can only use one of these. No matter what you add, change the water in the bottle every two days or so, and clean the branches and leaves at the same time.

1, sugar water cultivation method

Adding about 2%-3% white sugar to water provides carbon source to prolong the life of flowers. However, when adding white sugar, white vinegar and other substances need to be added to prevent a large number of bacteria from breeding.

2. Method of raising wine

Adding a little beer to the water can prolong the flowering period by more than ten days, but it is too delicate to spend less.

Warm reminder: flowers and leaves soaked in water should be thoroughly removed, because rotten leaves will make the water dirty, hinder the water absorption efficiency of flower stems, and waste nutrients in the water.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) placement

Stay away from ripe fruits and vegetables.

Now, there is a healthy and beautiful flower, but where to put it can really determine its life and death in the coming week. Please stay away from direct sunlight and heating, otherwise it will accelerate the respiration of flower branches and the evaporation of water, which will easily cause flowers to wither. Please stay away from ripe fruits and vegetables, because ripe fruits and vegetables will release a lot of ethylene, which will lead to the withering of flowers.
