In daily life, fresh cut flowers add a lot of romance and beauty to us. However, to make fresh cut flowers bloom quickly and maintain long-lasting beauty, we need to take good care of them with our hearts.

How to make fresh cut flowers bloom quickly:

1. Appropriate pruning
After receiving fresh cut flowers, prune them first. Remove damaged and redundant leaves to reduce water evaporation. At the same time, cut the bottom of the flower stem into an oblique opening, which can increase the water absorption area of the flower stem, promote water absorption, and help the flowers bloom quickly.
2. Deep water soaking
Prepare a bucket, pour in enough clean water, and soak the flower stems in deep water. The soaking time is generally 2 to 4 hours. Deep water soaking can make the flower stems fully absorb water and provide sufficient water for the flowers to bloom.
3. Suitable environment
Place fresh cut flowers in a warm and bright place but avoid direct sunlight. A temperature of about 20-25°C is more suitable. Such an environment can accelerate the opening of flowers.

How to keep fresh cut flowers for a long time:

1. Correct way of arranging flowers
Choose a clean and suitable vase, preferably a glass vase, so that the water level can be observed. Add an appropriate amount of clean water to the vase. Generally, the water level is at 1/3 to 1/2 of the vase. When inserting fresh cut flowers into the vase, pay attention to the placement angle and density to avoid the flowers squeezing each other.
2. Change water regularly
To maintain the freshness of fresh cut flowers, it is necessary to change water regularly. Generally, change the water every 1 to 2 days. When changing water, clean the vase at the same time to remove dirt and bacteria in the vase. And cut the bottom of the flower stem into an oblique opening again to maintain good water absorption.
3. Add preservatives
An appropriate amount of preservatives can be added to the water. Preservatives can prolong the life of fresh cut flowers. Preservatives generally include bactericides, nutrients and other components, which can inhibit the growth of bacteria and provide nutrition for flowers. Just use it according to the instructions of the preservative.
4. Avoid direct sunlight and air vents
Fresh cut flowers should be placed away from direct sunlight. Sunlight will accelerate the withering of flowers. At the same time, stay away from air vents. The air flow at the air vents is relatively fast, which will accelerate the evaporation of water from the flowers.
