Rosa (Latin name: Rosa spp.).）As a much-loved flower, it has a wide range of applications in cut flower markets and among gardening enthusiasts. However, many people face a common problem: how to extend the freshness of roses?This is not only the protection of the roses themselves, but also the continuation of beauty and value. In this article, we'll take a closer look at this issue and make some high-quality, actionable recommendations.
First of all, to prolong the freshness of roses, we need to understand their physiological characteristics. Roses continue to metabolize after they are picked, consuming water and nutrients, so during the preservation process, we aim to slow down this process as much as possible and prolong the beautiful life of the flowers.
1. Water management
(1) Shearing treatment:First of all, before putting the roses in the water, we need to cut the flower stems at a 45-degree angle and try to put them in clean water within a few minutes after cutting. This will help the flowers absorb water better and keep them fresh for longer.
2) Change the water source: Changing the water in the vase regularly is key to keeping the roses vibrant. It is recommended to change the water once a day and wash the vase when changing the water to remove bacteria and dirt and keep the flower water clean.
3) Add nutrients: Adding an appropriate amount of bouquet curing agent to the vase can provide additional nutrients and prolong the freshness of roses. These conditioners often contain antimicrobials and nutrients that help prevent bacterial growth and promote healthy flower growth.
2. Temperature and environmental control.
(1) Avoid high temperatures:Roses are highly sensitive to high temperatures and direct sunlight, so vases should be placed in a cool and ventilated place, away from exposure to the sun and high temperatures, to prevent the flowers from wilting and discoloration.
(2) Control humidity:Moderate humidity helps to preserve the freshness of the roses. The humidity in the air can be increased by spraying water around the vase or using a humidifier, but be careful not to expose the flowers to direct water vapor to avoid triggering germ growth.
3. Protect the petals.
(1) Avoid touchingThe petals of roses are fragile and susceptible to crushing and damage. When handling and arranging the bouquet, handle it with care and try to avoid touching the petals to maintain the integrity of the flowers.
(2) Water spray moisturizing:In a dry environment, you can gently spray water onto the petals of roses with a sprayer to keep them moist and prevent the petals from drying out and falling off.
In summary, the key to prolonging the freshness of roses is to effectively manage moisture, control temperature and environment, and protect petals. By taking the right measures, we can prolong the beautiful lifespan of roses and keep them fragrant and charming.
