Chrysanthemum is one of the most common flowers in autumn, but freshly cut chrysanthemums often only last for a few days before they begin to wither. If you can master some methods to wake up flowers, the life of chrysanthemums can be effectively extended. This article will explain in detail how to wake up flowers and cut chrysanthemums.
1. Flower cutting options When picking or cutting chrysanthemums, you should try to choose healthy flowers that are free from pests and diseases. If there are damaged or withered flowers, avoid taking them so as to avoid affecting the growth of other flowers.
2. Cutting time The time to cut flowers is also very important and it is recommended to do it in the morning and evening. Because the sun is very strong during the day, which can easily make flowers dry and fragile, avoid picking chrysanthemums during the day.
3. Treatment after flower cutting. After picking chrysanthemums, they should be treated immediately. First, put the flowers in water so that they can absorb enough water, which can ensure the freshness and life of the flowers.
4. Pruning treatment Before putting the chrysanthemums into water, pruning treatment is also needed. Cut the bottom of the flower stem obliquely to increase the area of the flower stem that absorbs water, while also keeping the cut dry to avoid the growth of bacteria.
5. Remove the bottom leaves When pruning, you also need to remove the leaves at the bottom of the flower stem. Because leaves consume nutrients from flowers, if not removed, they will easily cause flowers to shrink and wither.
6. Temperature control When chrysanthemums are placed indoors, the room temperature should be controlled at around 20-25℃. Too high a temperature will accelerate the withering of flowers, while too low a temperature will affect the growth status of flowers.
7. Light treated chrysanthemums also require appropriate light during storage, but it will not work if the sun is too strong. It is best to place it in a place with good light transmission and not directly exposed to the sun.
8. When replacing water when storing chrysanthemums, the water needs to be replaced every once in a while, which can ensure the freshness and life of the flowers. When replacing water, appropriate pruning treatment should also be carried out.
9. Increase nutrients The growth of chrysanthemums requires sufficient nutrients. If some nutrients are added to the water, it can better promote the growth of flowers and prolong the flowering period.
10. Avoid touching Chrysanthemum is a very delicate flower. If you touch it frequently, it will easily cause the petals to fall off or deform. So when storing chrysanthemums, try to avoid touching them.
11. Cooling down and keeping fresh If you want to store chrysanthemums for a long time, you can put them in a low temperature environment. For example, put it in the refrigerator, which can effectively extend the flowering period.
12. Maintain a certain humidity in the environment where chrysanthemums are stored moist. You can place some wet towels or tissue around the flower pot to keep the flowers moist.
13. Awakening agent If you want to wake up flowers more quickly, you can add some Awakening agent to the water. But be careful to choose a safe and non-toxic wakeup agent and not to affect human health.
14. Clean environment The environment where chrysanthemums are stored also needs to be kept clean and avoid accumulating debris around. Because this will affect the circulation of air and easily lead to the growth of bacteria.
15. Through the above series of methods, I believe that everyone has mastered the skills and methods of how to wake up flowers and cut chrysanthemums. As long as you pay attention to these details in picking, pruning and storage, you can make the chrysanthemums bloom undefeated.
