How to grow gladiolus in a vase of water so that it can bloom to its full size

Gladiolus is a linear flower with relatively long branches, so the vase that goes with it should be relatively tall and upright. It is recommended to choose a barrel or cylindrical vase for a better fit.

If the number of gladiolus cut flowers is small, you can also add a few branches of other flowers such as yellow warbler, crystal grass, etc. at the same time. The combination will be richer in content and more ornamental.

Trim the gladiolus to about twice the height of the vase, and cut the water inlet end into a 45-degree horseshoe-shaped incision, which will help increase the absorption area. At the same time, all flowers must not have leaves at the water inlet end. Leaves soaked in water are not conducive to keeping the water clean.

After cleaning all the flowers, fill the vase 1/3 to 1/2 full with purified water or mineral water. If a preservative is provided when buying flowers, add some fresh cut flower preservative according to the dosage and shake well.

If you don't have any, you can add half an aspirin tablet into the vase and wait for it to fully dissolve.

Finally, insert various flowers in order according to personal preference to achieve the best viewing effect.

Daily water maintenance precautions for gladiolus cut flowers:

The viewing period of fresh cut gladiolus flowers is generally about 10 to 15 days. During this period, you need to change the water every 3 to 5 days, and each time you change the water, you need to trim new incisions.

Fresh cut flowers should not be placed in direct sunlight, nor near heat radiation sources or in an environment where the air is too dry.

The indoor placement should be away from the heat radiation range of heating equipment. If the air is too dry, a humidifier should be turned on or spray around the vase to increase the humidity.

Many flower lovers are accustomed to placing flower arrangements on the dining table. In fact, the oil fume environment is not conducive to the preservation of fresh cut flowers.

In addition, ripe fruits such as bananas, apples, and strawberries placed on the table. The sweet fruity aroma they release contains "ethylene" gas, which has a ripening effect, which is also not good for the preservation of fresh cut flowers. It is recommended to place them in other fresh air environments.
