10 basic flower maintenance techniques

Learn some basic flower-raising skills to keep the flowers longer and look better.

 1. Use a clean vase

 First of all, you need to ensure that the vase you use is clean, and the water you use needs to be clear and fresh.

 2. Cut the rhizomes at an angle

 Use scissors to cut off 1-2 inches of flower stems at an oblique angle, and cut off a little every two or three days.

 3. Cut off the leaves on top

Cut off the leaves on the top of the bouquet and don't let them soak in the water to avoid rotting and muddy the water.

 4. Arrange flowers in an orderly manner

Don't put the flowers in the vase together, insert them one by one, so that you will better arrange the flowers in the vase, and they will not be squeezed and die quickly.

 5. Feed them

Don't forget to add nutrients to the flowers. Pour a little warmer water into the vase and add some flower nutrients to keep the flowers alive longer.

 6. Make your own nutrients

You can also make flower nutrients by yourself, just add some lemon juice and sugar cubes to warm water.

 7. Buy healthy flowers

If you need to buy flowers, please choose flowers with tight bones and shiny branches and leaves, and make sure you can go straight home and insert them into the vase after buying the flowers. Don't dehydrate for too long.

 8. Roses need to be raised separately

 Some flowers, like roses and daffodils, cannot be put together with other flowers.Narcissus will secrete a liquid that will harm other flowers, while roses will be affected and die if they are fed with other flowers.

 9. Keep the flowers in a cool environment

 Flowers like to stay in a cool environment, but they cannot be frozen.Do not put them on top of TVs or other electrical appliances, so as not to overheat and cause the flowers to wilt.

 10. Change water regularly

 Change the water in the vase regularly for two or three days and keep the same space between the flowers.
