I. Appropriate temperature

Sword lilies prefer to grow in a warm environment, but the flowers on the cut stems and the plant are different. If the temperature is too high, it will accelerate the wilting of fresh-cut flowers. Therefore, when maintaining fresh-cut flowers, try to give them a cooler environment, controlling the ambient temperature between 15-20℃ is more suitable for their growth, which can ensure that the flowers grow normally without wilting too quickly.

II. Shaded maintenance

If you want fresh-cut flowers to last longer, you need to place them in a shaded area for maintenance, away from direct sunlight. After being exposed to the sun, the flower stems will consume more water and nutrients, and will also accelerate the aging of the stems. It is possible that they may become wilted and soft in just 2 or 3 days. It is recommended to maintain them in a place indoors without direct sunlight.

III. Regular water change

Fresh-cut flowers absorb water through the stems, and the quality of the water directly affects the growth quality of the stems. Generally, well water, rainwater, or mineral water is chosen for maintenance. If tap water is used, it should be allowed to sit for two days before use. The frequency of water change is about every 3 to 5 days, and each time the water is changed, the bottom of the flower stem should be cut off a little to prevent the water absorption holes from being blocked.

IV. Nutrients

If you want fresh-cut sword lily flowers to last longer, you need to add preservatives to the water, such as vitamin C, sugar, or directly purchase preservatives. These substances mainly provide nutrients needed for the growth of the stems and maintain the balance of the water, preventing the growth of bacteria. A small amount should be added to the water after each water change.

The above is a comprehensive introduction on how to cultivate fresh-cut sword lily flowers and related maintenance techniques, hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to green plant enthusiasts.
