Yellow and lush mimosa is often given to the fair sex for the main March holiday.
But is it possible to keep flowers not just bright, but also fluffy and fragrant for a long time?
The answer to this question is simple: no. The maximum time that mimosa will delight you is from 5 to 7 days.
If the seller was cunning and scalded the branches with boiling water before selling, then such a mimosa will last a maximum of 2 days at home. The latter option can be used if the branches have lost their attractive appearance.
If you are lucky enough to get a truly fresh and fragrant mimosa, then there is a chance to preserve it longer.
First, the flowers really need to be put in water if there are unopened inflorescences. Soon they will fluff up and last for about a week.
It is better to choose warm water for the vase.
It is better to crush the stem a little so that it absorbs the liquid better.
If the branch is already fluffy, you can not put it in water. It will stand in a vase for up to 5 days.
How to keep mimosa in a vase without water
If you do everything correctly, the bouquet will delight you for several months.
It is advisable to keep mimosa in a cool place.
To prevent the flower balls from falling off later, you can cover them with hairspray.
