Title: TIPS TO KEEP FLOWERS FRESH
1TIPS TO KEEP FLOWERS FRESH
2Place flowers in large vase or container
- Always use a clean bowl and keep flowers in that
so that they remain fresh. Keeping flower
bouquets in freshwater helps in reducing
infection that might prevent other microorganisms
to multiply and make sure that stems are not
tightly pressed. Buy flowers from the best online
florist in Qatar.
3Remove lower leaves of the flowers
- To make freshly cut flowers remain fresh for a
longer period, remove the fallen leaves below the
waterline because they decay very quickly
underwater and affect and damage the rest of the
plant.
4Cut the stems of the plant at an angle
- Cut the ends of the stems frequently to make sure
the flowers remain fresh. Use sharp scissors to
cut the stems at an angle of 45 degrees. This
simple technique will help to improve the
absorption of water and it is advisable to cut
the stems of the flowers regularly and place them
in the freshwater.
5Cut the stems of the plant at an angle
- For delicate flowers like roses, it's better to
cut the stems under water because roses are very
sensitive to air because bacteria affect the
absorption of water and can make flowers die
rapidly.
6Place the flowers in the hot water
- Place the plant in the hot water I,e water should
be around 43-44 degree celsius and put the plant
inside the vase and place it in a cool location
for two or more hours in the house. Using hot
water is advisable because hot water particles
move faster than cool particles through the
stems. This method of using hot water is called
Hardening that extends the life of the flowers.
7Change the water frequently
- We have to replace or change the water of vase
frequently to keep the flowers fresh. In addition
to this, remove the dead leaves from the water
before refilling the freshwater. This will helps
in reducing the risk of infection. To overcome
the problem we can use aspirin tablets in the
water before putting it into the vase that helps
to keep the water clean and also helps in the
prevention of bacteria that damages the flowers.
