On the eve of March 8, every man thinks about buying a bouquet of fresh flowers.

There is a sign that if a bouquet was not given from the heart, then the flowers will quickly fade. But it happens that if a flower quickly fades, then perhaps the seller was dishonest.

Here are some tips to help you pick only fresh bouquets

1. Ready bouquet

In fact, ready-made bouquets are made from flowers that have been standing for a long time. The abundance of decorations, ribbons, paper and other items hide the flaws that are visible to the naked eye.

2. What kind of water do the flowers stand in?

You can show character and look into the container in which the bouquet or flower stood. If the water is cloudy and smells bad, then things are bad. If the water is fresh but cloudy, most likely the seller added stimulants and fertilizers, without which the flowers will wither.

3. Stem and leaves

These parts should be deep green, without damage, spots, etc. If the cut is dark, the flower has been standing for a long time. The stem is too short - it was cut many times. The leaves should be elastic, not brittle, saturated with moisture.

4. Pollen

If there is pollen in the bud, it means the flower is already old. Fresh flowers are those in which the bud is just beginning to bloom.

5. The stronger the aroma…

The stronger the scent of the bud, the fresher the flower.

But the most important thing to remember is that, at best, cut flowers last for 5 days and wilting is inevitable.
