How to prolong the flowering period of flower arrangements

1. Seize the opportunity

To extend the flowering period of cut flowers, it is best to cut them when the flowers are in bud, as they will wither more slowly at this time. Also, pruning should be done in the morning and immediately placed in water after pruning. This can greatly reduce water evaporation and extend the flowering period to a certain extent.

2. Suitable location

It is better to place the flower arrangement in a cool place, not in a place exposed to sunlight. In winter, do not place it near heaters, air conditioners, etc., as this will accelerate the withering of the petals.

3. Regular water changes

The water used for flower arrangement must be clean and should be changed regularly. When the weather is hot, change the water every day. In cold weather, change the water every 2-3 days, and remove the remaining flowers appropriately when changing the water. In addition, the flower branches should be pruned short to keep the cut ends fresh so that they can absorb sufficient water and extend the flowering period.

4. Use preservatives

You can apply dilute hydrochloric acid or acetic acid on the cut of the flower branch to prevent the cut from rotting. You can also add salt, sugar, and vitamin B12 to the water, which can not only prevent bacterial invasion, but also increase the water absorption capacity of the branches, and slow down the withering of flowers.
