It is well known that lilies are loved by many flower lovers for their elegant and pure flower postures. After their petals unfold, they will emit a strong fragrance and are therefore known as the "queen of flowers". In addition, the name of lilies also represents a harmonious and lasting marriage. They are often used in weddings or important celebrations, carrying good wishes.
However, the stamens of lilies are rich in pollen, and the pollen will attract pollination by bees or insects. If the lilies you bought are fresh-cut flowers, they may be blown onto your clothes by the wind and dirty them. Even some people are allergic to pollen and may have symptoms such as sneezing and itchy skin after contact. In severe cases, it may even affect breathing. Therefore, the stamen must be removed during daily maintenance to better avoid the pollen from falling everywhere. If the pollen most easily falls on the flowers, at this time, the flowers may think that pollination is completed and may even shorten the flowering period of lilies. So, how to deal with it?
First, after the flower has opened, get a piece of tissue. If possible, it is best to wear gloves. Then carefully remove the stamens one by one. If you accidentally get it on your hands or clothes during the process, you can use makeup remover or baking soda to wash it off. This can achieve a clean and tidy purpose.
Then, will removing the stamen affect the petals? Generally speaking, the treated lilies will not affect the ornamental effect of lilies at all, but make them more elegant and pleasant. After removing the stamen, the maintenance of lilies should still be maintained. First, try not to place them in direct sunlight or in an overheated environment such as a kitchen for cooking. It is recommended to place them next to the indoor balcony window. In addition, it is necessary to change the clear water regularly and shorten the end of the flower stem to enhance the absorption capacity of water and nutrients.
In conclusion, although the action of removing the stamen of lilies seems insignificant, it has a scientific meaning of raising flowers. You can remove the stamen to make the ornamental effect of lilies better, avoid pollen allergies, and prolong the flowering period.
