How to handle a rose bouquet to extend its viewing time
This article provides a detailed explanation on rose care, discussing how to handle a rose bouquet to extend its viewing time. Below is a thorough introduction for you.
Generally, to maintain the viewing period, the rose bouquets we receive have been processed and some even sprayed with preservatives. We don't need to handle them excessively; simply undo the bouquet, take out the roses,剪掉 the wilted and damaged leaves at the bottom of the stems, cut off the bottom part of the flower stem, and then place it in a vase. Only clear water is needed in the vase, and the water level doesn't need to be too high, just about 5 centimeters above the cut end of the rose stem.
This depends on the specific packaging of the bouquet. If there is floral foam at the bottom (a green block), we just need to keep the foam moist, which can also allow for a few days of viewing. Sometimes the bouquet may contain leaves from other plants for decoration, which can be removed, leaving only the stems with flowers.
Sometimes rose enthusiasts will say, "Why doesn't the article mention any tricks to extend the bloom time, like adding sugar to the vase?" In fact, these methods are not very effective and may even have more side effects, so clear water is sufficient.
If we rearrange the flowers, we can create a sense of height and unevenness, which will add more layers to the display.
The above is a comprehensive introduction on how to handle a rose bouquet to extend its viewing time, hoping to bring some knowledge about green plants to plant enthusiasts.
