The color of flowers can add vitality to the home layout. They’re better looking than ordinary green leafy plants, but they also require you to take more care of them. Now many families love to buy flowers to decorate their homes. Do you know how to maintain fresh flowers or how to prolong the flowering period? Here are some tips to help you keep flowers longer and make them look better.
1.Remove the package and wake up the flowers
The first thing you need to do after buying flowers home is to remove the package and wake them up. Those flowers that have been transported for a long time have lost a lot of water, so it is necessary for them to replenish water. Prepare a bucket and fill it with clean water, cut the bottom of the flowers obliquely by about 3cm, soak the flower branches in clean water, expose the flower heads outside, and take out the flower branches after waking up for about 8 hours.
2.Hydroponics
Prepare a large vase. Choose a transparent glass vase if possible so it’s easier for you to see the flower branches and water quality. Rainwater, well water and mineral water are good choices, but you can also use tap water if you can’t get them. Tap water needs to be left for several days in advance. Put the water into the vase. The water level should not be too high. Remove the excess leaves from the flower branches, trim the bottom of the flower branches, and then put them into water.
3.Frequently change water
It is not necessary to spray water on the flowers. Pay attention to changing the water regularly. Generally, change the water every 5-7 days. In summer with high temperature, change the water every 1-2 days.
4.Add nutrients
Flowers in water also need nutrients. You can drop an appropriate amount of nutrient solution, or add aspirin tablets, vitamin C and sugar.
5.Avoid direct sunlight
Flowers should be placed in the place where the light is not strong to avoid direct sunlight, but it should not be placed where it’s too cold or too dark.
Keeping flowers at home is an attitude towards life. Flowers and plants are spiritual. The energy you put into caring for them, they will repay you with beauty. Best wishes to all of you who love flowers.
