Instruction manual
1
First, trim the ends of the stems with a sharp knife, as the oblique cut will allow the plants to absorb more moisture. Cut the leaves from the bottom of the stem, otherwise they will begin to rot. Remove the thorns from the rose.
2
Stems of lilac, chrysanthemum, rose and jasmine split into 3 parts. Pierce the bottom of cyclamen several times with a needle.
3
Hold the poppy stalks for a few seconds over the fire or dip them in hot water. Then, milky juice will stand out on the cut, which seals the vessels of the stems. It drains, so the poppy stays longer.
4
Dip the whole violets in the water. After a while, shake them and place them in a vase. Hold marigolds and dahlias for 10-15 minutes in hot water.
5
Pour cold water for flowers, change more often. Changing the water, rinse the ends of the stems.
6
Do not place flowers next to fruit. The latter lead to rapid wilting of plants. By adding sugar to the water, you will extend the life of your flowers
Useful advice
Remember, cut flowers do not like drafts and direct sunlight. Put them overnight in a cool place.
