Baby's breath is a very beautiful flower, belonging to the genus Gypsophila in the Caryophyllaceae family. Baby's breath has a light fragrance, elegant flower color, and is very suitable for making floral arrangements. Moreover, baby's breath symbolizes "purity, aspiration, and romance," making it very popular and many flower enthusiasts buy a bouquet of baby's breath to keep in a vase at home. So how can we take good care of the baby's breath bouquet we bought? The answers are in the following two points.
Cultivating in a vase with water
Many flower enthusiasts like the fresh look of baby's breath, making the bouquet look like a beautiful pot of baby's breath, full of vitality and a blooming sensation. How can we keep baby's breath fresh and lively?
After buying the baby's breath bouquet, we need to prepare a vase, preferably a narrow-necked one that is taller, allowing the stems to be inserted into the vase and creating a beautiful shape. Once the vase is ready, we need to clean and disinfect it, using a fungicide solution to reduce the appearance of bacteria and extend the life of the bouquet. We then need to prepare water, which should be slightly acidic to prevent damage to the stems from alkaline water. We can use purified water, tap water that has been sitting for 24 hours, or rainwater. Fill the vase with water to 2/3 capacity. Trim the bouquet, removing yellowed and rotten leaves, otherwise, they may rot in the vase and affect other stems. Then cut the stems at a diagonal to absorb more water and nutrients. After that, tie the bouquet together and place it in the vase. To prevent bacterial growth, it's best to change the water every 1 to 2 days and add some preservatives to extend the blooming time. Place the bouquet in a location with scattered indoor light, avoiding strong sunlight, as it may dry out the bouquet.
Turning into dried flowers for a longer enjoyment period
Besides hydroponics, baby's breath bouquets can also be made into dried flowers, which are a type of preserved标本-like flowers that not only can be appreciated but also used for photography. How can we turn a baby's breath bouquet into dried flowers?
How to care for the purchased baby's breath bouquet
First, we can make dried flowers from the baby's breath bouquet using the air-drying method: spread out the bouquet, cut off the yellowed branches and leaves, and also trim any flowers that don't look nice. Tie every two or three together and hang the bouquet upside down in a well-ventilated area, making sure it doesn't touch the wall to prevent incomplete drying. After about 15 to 20 days, when the bouquet is dry, tie it up and reshape it, then it can be placed in a vase. Alternatively, you can trim the unattractive flower stems and blossoms, as well as the yellow leaves, tie two or three together to create a beautiful shape, and place them in a thick book to make a beautiful baby's breath bookmark. This way, one bouquet of baby's breath can be made into many bookmarks. Flower enthusiasts with a microwave can also place the beautiful baby's breath stems in the microwave for ten seconds to make beautiful dried flowers.
In summary, baby's breath has the flower language of purity, aspiration, and romance, with an elegant flower color and pleasant fragrance, making it very popular among flower enthusiasts. After purchasing, we can use hydroponics to keep the flowers fresh and extend the blooming time, or we can turn it into dried flowers, which is also a kind of beauty. Which method do you, as a fan of baby's breath, prefer to preserve the bouquet?
