Carnations, as one of the most popular flowers in the world, are loved by people for their rich and diverse flower language. To keep the carnation flowers wilting overnight, you can take the following measures:
Before receiving the carnation or preparing it for use, use sharp scissors to cut the base of the flower stem diagonally about 1-2 cm, with a smooth cutting surface, to increase the water absorption area.
Use a clean vase or container and make sure there are no impurities and residual moisture inside the container.
Use clean water, preferably fresh water, and add the right amount of floral preservatives, which can help prolong the life of the flowers.
Keep the carnation in a cool place and avoid direct exposure to sunlight or heat sources such as radiators or televisions, etc.
To maintain a certain humidity, you can use a damp towel or plastic wrap to cover the vase, but make sure the flowers are able to breathe.
Keep carnations away from fruits and other items that produce ethylene gas, which accelerates the aging of flowers.
If you find that the flowers are starting to wilt, you can cut the bottom of the stem again and replace it with water and preservative.
Keep the indoor temperature appropriate, not too hot or too cold, generally room temperature is enough.
With the above measures, the flowering period of the carnation can be maximized, so that it will remain bright and straight overnight after picking.
