Flower Care: Flowers and Plant Info and Care Tips

Flower Care

All cut flowers have a certain lifetime.
But there are several ways to keep them long- lasting and not fade away too quickly.

Do not change the environment too quickly.
For example: When you get flowers home, do not put them in the living room or bedroom straight away.

Keep then in the hall for some time so they will get used to room temperature.

Put them in a vase, make sure that the stems are accurately cut with knife or succors under running water.
Also make sure that there are no leaves at the end of the stem that are supposed to be put in water.

Flowers collected in bouquets usually lack water.
Make sure that you pour enough water into a vase.
Keep the water warm, so the flowers will absorb more of it.

Flowers with flexible stems should be cut at oblique angle.
Check flowers regularly and add water if necessary.
It’s especially important during hot weather and in houses with central heating.

If you add ammonia, insecticide substances or sugar for fresh-cut flowers into water, they may last longer.
Also, please check that the water is pure.
Spoiled or dirty water makes flowers fade away very quickly.

Never put a vase near equipment or direct sun rays.

 Special flower care for: 

Roses

First of all you need to cut off all thorns and low leaves.

Some roses don’t have thorns.
If roses are fading too quickly, cut the stems again and put the stems in hot water.

Also, you may take away faded leaves.
Roses can’t be in the same vase with other flowers.

 

Tulips

Tulips fade away rather quickly, but if you put their stems in hot water, they may recover.
Leave them in hot water until they recover fully.

 

Peony

To preserve them from fading too quickly, put them in a cold dry place for 24 hours

 

Lily

They may stay in water for 10 days.
You need to take away low buttons during that period.

 

Carnations

May last for 3 weeks.
Do not put them in vase with other flowers

 

Gerbera

They do not stay long in a vase.
That’s why you need to wash the vase carefully and add insecticide to a vase.
