The lotus flower, known as "rising unsullied from mud", has always been deeply loved by many flower lovers. Its flower language is innocence, purity and faith, symbolizing the pure realm transcending the mundane world.
Generally speaking, lotus flowers are divided into fresh cut flowers and potted plants. For the maintenance of potted lotus flowers, all you need to do is let it bask in the sun every day, provide sufficient nutrients, wrap the fertilizer in a tissue paper, and then bury it in the silt. So how to maintain fresh cut flowers? After getting the flowers, you can see that its stem is hollow. Therefore, first cut the root diagonally, then hold the root with your hand, add water from the hollow place with running water. During the process, you should squeeze with your hand while adding water to try to squeeze out the bubbles. After adding the water, block it with your finger and quickly put the flowers into a flower-awakening bucket filled with water. Generally, it takes about 4 hours for deep-water flower awakening.
After the flowers are awake, you can start arranging them in a vase. Take a vase and add more than 2/3 deep water level to raise the flowers. Then, cut the root diagonally according to the height of the vase. Here, it should be remembered that cutting the root diagonally needs to be done in water. The specific operation is to lift the stem slightly, put the scissors in the water and cut diagonally. Finally, when taking it out, block the root with your index finger and put it in the vase. For the subsequent daily maintenance, pay attention to a cool and ventilated place. If possible, you can use cooled boiled water or mineral water. Change the water every two days and re-trim the stem ends to remove the rotten parts.
After the lotus flower blooms, its petals are very large. Therefore, many flower lovers will do a small processing to make it more distinctive. How to process it specifically? Generally speaking, for shaping on the flowers, the folding method is adopted. First, you can directly wash the petals open with running water, or you can let them open naturally. There are three folding methods for petals. The first one is to fold the petal in half from the middle. The second one is to rotate the petal to the side, and then fold it in half from the middle. The third one is to fold the left side inward, the right side inward, and then fold the middle downward.
Through the above meticulous care, fresh cut lotus flowers can bloom indoors for a period of time, adding vitality and beauty to the home.
