Instruction manual
1
Choose a wide vase; a narrow vase may convey flower stems too much. In addition, the vase should be well washed. Pour only fresh and cold water into the vase.
2
Cut the stems of the brought bouquet by a couple of centimeters. This procedure can be repeated daily. Trim stems need only clean tools, such as a knife or pruner. The cut is best done at an angle of 45 degrees, so you get the maximum area of contact with water. Lignified stems, for example in lilacs, must be split.
3
Always remove leaves in contact with water, they quickly rot, which leads to clouding and acidification of the water. If the thorns are not removed from the roses, it is better to remove them, as they take a lot of moisture from the plant.
4
If there are a lot of flowers or bouquets, then do not try to put them in one container. Divide the flowers into several parts. It will be easier for you to control small bouquets.
5
Use flower dressing, it can often be found in flower shops. Use top dressing according to the instructions.
6
If there is no way to get the finished dressing, then do it yourself. It is necessary to take a liter of water, a cube of sugar and the juice of half a lemon, shift everything. Feeding is ready.
7
If you buy flowers yourself, choose quality plants. The buds should be tight and the leaves shiny. Buy flowers so that they are not for a long time without water.
8
Consider the plants used in the bouquet. Roses and daffodils quickly wither, if combined with other species.
9
Never keep flowers in the sun or in warm places; high temperatures lead to early wilting. For example, you can not put flowers next to appliances that emit heat.
10
Change the water in the vase once every couple of days. Chrysanthemums are very fond of spraying, and you need to spray both buds and leaves.
