Tips cut flowers stay fresh


Cut flowers are beautiful indeed can add a festive susana the room. Unfortunately, he was quite short. How to treat? Here are tips:


WHEN BUYING INTEREST
1. Pay attention to the bottom of the stem. Choose flowers that clean the bottom of the trunk. If the part is already mushy or smelly, it's saved at least 24 hours of outdoor air.
2. For flowers that are stored in the cold room, the end of the stem is usually clean. But we can still their age by examining the strength of the trunk. Choose a rod that is still hard.
3. Buy flowers in the bud. Flowers have bloomed a sign he had lived a little.
4. We recommend that you buy in a state flower petals still closed paper or plastic cone so the crown of the interest protected.
5. If the distance between the flower shop and you're pretty much home, have a container of water as a place of interest in order to prevent dryness.

CUT FLOWERS OF GARDEN
1. Cut your side that sticks to the surface absorption area.
2. Use shears or a sharp knife to cut the stem. Do not use paper or fabric scissors, because it can be clamped and cut stems.

PREPARING FOR FLOWER CONTAINERS
1. Clean the container by hand or foam. Shaking with water will not be enough to clean the dirt elements can alter the chemical properties of water.
2. Do not clean container with soap because soap residue can alter the chemical properties of water.
3. Fill the container with water to taste. Importantly, the water can soak the bottom of the stem.

PUTTING THE INTEREST IN VAS
1. Before putting flowers in a container, first clean the stems from the leaves and thorns.
2. Clean the bottom of the stem of the slime and dirt that can pollute the water.
3. When entering a flower, do not let the leaves are submerged in water in the container. The process of cooking food made by the leaves have a residue in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). When the carbon dioxide locked in the water and is absorbed by plants again, of course, will damage the plants.

TO HOLD LONG
1. Replace water in flower containers every day. When replacing, cut the bottom stems 1 cm long. The lower part usually undergo a process of decay.
2. Avoid cut flowers from exposure to direct sunlight and strong wind gusts.
3. Flowers are placed in an air conditioned room usually has a life interest is relatively short. This is because air circulation is not good and low humidity. In addition to replacing the water diligently, give opportunity interest "breathe" by putting it in the open (which is not affected by exposure to the sun) or room air circulates well.

CHOOSING TYPE OF INTEREST
1. Note the basic needs of climate flowers. Hydrangea flowers that grows in cold regions, for example, if brought to the high-temperature region, the crown tends to change color and rolled away.
2. For durability, local flowers are usually more durable because it fits with the local climate. There's even a kind of banana-Pisangan which could last two weeks.
3. For imported flowers such as lilies and tulips, usually up in a flower shop in immature or not yet in full bloom. Use of crushed aspirin dissolved in water, can accelerate the process of expansion, but shorten the life of flowers.
