Common Knowledge of Flower Care
This article introduces you to the basics of flower care, here are the details:
1. Keep the water clean, change the water every day in summer or when the room temperature is high, cut the roots daily to expose fresh stubs; in winter, autumn, spring, or when the room temperature is low, change the water every 2-4 days. Remove excess leaves from the part that is soaked in water.
2. The incision and scalding method:
Incision: For woody plants, you can make a cross, rice character, or split the base of the flower to expand the water absorption area.
Scalding: For plants like poinsettias, if the white sap continues to flow after cutting, the flowers will quickly rot. You should scald it in a fire to prevent the backflow of nutrients. This method is also suitable for roses, plum blossoms, peonies, and syringa.
Scalding: Soak the flower stems in hot water for a while to facilitate water absorption and sterilization, preservation. Generally, scald for about 30 seconds in 80-degree water. This is suitable for gladiolus, night-blooming cereus, dahlias, chrysanthemums, African daisies, and fragrant China roses.
3. The deep water cutting method (also known as deep water emergency method):
Cut the dehydrated flower stem under water, using the high water pressure and the principle that the conduit is not blocked by air in water to restore the dehydrated flower stem. Note: After cutting, let the flower stem absorb enough water in the water for 15-20 minutes before taking it out of the water, soak it until it recovers its stiffness, and then move it to the vase for soaking.
4. The sterilization method:
Adding alcohol, KMnO4, camphor, boric acid, citric acid, salt, alum, etc., to the water can all play a sterilizing role. Only when the water does not rot can the plant absorb water and preserve freshness. Note: Always dissolve into a solution before using, do not put undissolved directly into the water. When using salt, be careful not to make the concentration too high.
5. The nutrition method:
After fresh flowers are cut from the mother plant, they lose their nutrient source. You can add sugar, beer, aspirin, vitamin C, and other nutrients.
6. Spraying and injection method:
For many hollow-stemmed flowers, you can place the base of the flower under the tap and force water into it.
7. Keep away from heat accelerators and ethylene:
Keep away from vegetables and fruits, as they release a lot of ethylene, which can cause the flowers to wither. Also, promptly clear away any wilted flowers and fruits.
8. Placement location:
In summer, keep away from direct sunlight, and in winter, keep away from drafts.
