Flowers are delicate and beautiful, very ornamental, and can add a touch of color to an otherwise dull life. However, its fresh-keeping period is very short, and most of the flowers can be kept for 2-3 days at most before they wither, which is a pity. Here are some tips for fresh-keeping flowers to teach you how to easily extend the fresh-keeping period.
Purchase attention
If you're buying flowers at a florist, it's best not to buy flowers that are fully open, but to buy buds. Of course, you should also check whether the buds are still firm, and if they become soft, don't buy them. You can also blow gently to see if the petals fall off, and also check to see if the bottom leaves are wilted and the branches are not softened.
Salt preservation method
Salt can be used not only for seasoning, but also for growing flowers. Everyone must know that the antiseptic effect of salt is very good, so it is very suitable for keeping flowers fresh, and the operation is very simple. If you want the flowers to bloom longer, you need to insert them into the water for maintenance in time. Find a clean vase filled with water and add a small amount of salt in it to help the flowers better absorb water.
Flower preservative
The use of fresh-keeping agents to prolong the fresh-keeping period of flowers is also a very common method of preservation. When we buy flowers, we can ask the merchant for some preservatives. After returning home, we will treat the bottoms of the flowers and put them in the vase. Putting some fresh-keeping agents in the vase can properly prolong the fresh-keeping period of the flowers. This is the easiest and most convenient method, as long as the water quality of the flower arrangement is kept clean, there is basically no need for us to do too much.
Rational use of water
The water used for flower arrangement is best to use clean river water, well water, and pond water. If the water quality is relatively turbid, it needs to be filtered and cleaned before use. If using tap water, it should be left overnight before use.
Change the water regularly
To keep flowers fresh longer, you must change the water regularly, usually once every one to two days. If the water is not changed for a long time, it will easily stink. Of course, you should also pay attention to the maintenance environment. It should not be placed in a place with light, and the ambient temperature should not be too high, otherwise the flowers will easily wilt. You should also be careful not to put apples, bananas and other fruits next to them, otherwise it will accelerate the decay of the flowers.
Deep water first aid
When the flowers are a little uninspired, you can cut off a small section of the end of the flower branch, and then put it in a container full of cold water, leaving only the flowers exposed on the water. Leave it in this way for about one to two hours, the flower branches will wake up, and then put them back in the vase.
