Everyone who receives a bouquet as a gift wants the flowers to bring joy for as long as possible.
Therefore, you should remember about simple methods that will help extend the life of cut flowers.
Temperature
Once you bring the flowers into the house, you should give them 5-10 minutes to adapt to the new temperature. After that, you can take out the vase.
Stems and leaves
Don't rush to put the flowers in a vase. You need to shorten the stem by 2 centimeters at an angle.
It is also better to cut off the lower leaves so that they are not submerged in water.
Water
The water should be clean and filtered, and it should only be poured into a clean vase.
Additional funds
Special fertilizers, which are sold in flower shops, will also help to extend the life of the bouquet.
It is also acceptable to use folk remedies.
For example, a simple mixture of sugar and vinegar will help.
The first product will be a flower food, and the second will slow down the growth of bacteria in the vase. You should add two tablespoons of sugar and weak apple cider vinegar per liter of water and mix well.
After this, you can put flowers in such a solution. If there is no suitable vinegar at home, it is better to replace it with lemon juice.
