How to keep flower arrangement materials fresh for a long time

Ventilation

The most important thing for roses is ventilation. If the flower shop does not put the flowers out for ventilation immediately after purchasing them, they will get gray mold instead! Therefore, it is necessary to maintain air circulation and not to keep the roses stuffy in the box.

Do not spray water on the petals

Not every kind of flower can be sprayed with water. Chrysanthemums, carnations, lilies, forget-me-nots, orioles, zinnias, gerberas, etc. cannot be sprayed with water. For these flowers, you should first let them absorb enough water, place them in an air-conditioned room with small exhaust volume, spray them with a small amount of water if necessary, and avoid pollen areas.

Once the petals are sprayed with water, if there is a big difference between the water temperature and the petals temperature, water damage is likely to occur. Spraying water on flowers can easily cause mold, and the pollen can easily dissolve on the petals when it comes into contact with water, causing the flowers to look unsightly.

A small amount of water

In a well-ventilated environment, spraying water on the leaves in time before planting can keep the leaves stiff.

However, for plants in the Araceae family, only a small amount of water should be given when they are in a vase. Just add a little water each time when the water is almost absorbed. Otherwise, it will accelerate its corruption.

Alum preservation

When soaking hydrangea, Moraceae, and Euphorbiaceae flower arrangements in water, in addition to using preservatives, you can also use alum. It can not only prevent the plants from leaking juice when they are pruned and affect their water absorption, but also prevent the flowers from leaking juice and sticking to the bottle when inserted into the container, causing difficulties when washing. It can also purify the water quality and will not make the water thick due to the long immersion of flowers in water.
