1. Choose the right container.
When it comes to preserving flowers, it is very important to choose the right container. A clean, contamination-free container, preferably transparent or translucent, should be chosen so that the cleanliness of the water can be observed. At the same time, the container should have enough space to accommodate the root system of the flower and the space needed for growth.
2. Prune flower branches.
After bringing the flowers home from the florist, the first thing you need to do is prune the branches. The purpose of pruning is to remove excess leaves and flower buds to reduce nutrient consumption and keep the flowers neat. Care should be taken not to cut the flower branches when pruning to avoid bacterial infection.
3. Add preservatives.
Adding the right amount of preservative to the water can prolong the life of flowers. Preservatives provide nutrients, keep water clean, and prevent flower branches from bending and shriveling. You can choose the right preservative according to the variety of flowers you buy and the instructions of the preservative.
4. Replace the water.
In the process of preserving flowers, it is necessary to change the water regularly. The frequency of changing clean water depends on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the type of preservative. In general, it is more appropriate to change the water every 1-2 days. When changing the water, the flower branches should be rinsed thoroughly and the rotten roots and leaves should be cut off.
5. Control temperature and humidity.
Temperature and humidity have a great impact on the lifespan of flowers. When storing flowers, the temperature should be controlled between 15 and 25, and the humidity should be kept at about 90%. If the temperature is too high or too low, it will affect the growth and flowering time of the flowers;If the humidity is too low, it will cause the flower branches to dry out and shrivel.
6. Avoid direct sunlight.
In the process of preserving flowers, direct sunlight should be avoided. Direct sunlight causes the temperature of the flowers to rise, accelerating the drying and withering of the flowers. Therefore, flowers should be kept in a cool, ventilated place, or use items such as blackout cloths to block the sun.
7. Regular inspection.
In the process of preserving flowers, it is necessary to regularly check the growth of flowers. If you find that the flowers are withering or dry, you should take measures such as pruning or replacing water in time. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to observe whether the flower branches are rotten or pests and diseases, and deal with them in time to avoid deterioration of the condition.
To sum up, preserving and prolonging the flowering period of flowers requires multifaceted management and care. Measures such as choosing the right container, pruning the branches, adding preservatives, changing the water, controlling the temperature and humidity, avoiding direct sunlight, and regular inspection can effectively prolong the life of the flowers and maintain their beauty. Of course, depending on the flower species and environmental conditions, different preservation methods may be required. In actual operation, it can be adjusted and managed according to the actual situation.
