Courtesy of Joseph Y.Mine always die:(.. so you know what this year I will learn how to keep them alive...
From the bit of research I've done,I gather that:
- We should always cut of one inch of the flowers ..sharp scissors will do or a knife and put them asap in a vase of course filled with lukewarm water remenber to change the water every 2 days...
- When buying them it's best to buy them already cut ....
- Always make sure that there aren't any leaves in the water
- If you are dealing with roses the trick is to cut the stems in the water
- Def' use the packets given to you by the florist they contain chemicals that will kill the bacterias in the water and will feed your plants as well
- Some experts say that adding seven up to lukewarm water can maintain your flowers alive, some use 1/2 of bleach and a bit of lemon juice as well.
- Keep flowers away from the sun and in cool places at night
- Never put flowers close to a bowl of fruits because they release a nefaste gas
- Another interestin trick I've learned consists of putting dead looking roses in a bit of water..it may freshen them up ...
- You can also add a bit of sugar to your water ..
