A nicely decorated bouquet of
freshly picked flowers can increase joy and happiness to the beholder. These
flowers can convey our feelings and emotions very easily. We celebrate special
occasions and moments with flowers.
Sadly once these flowers are cut
from the plants; it tends to reduce its vibrancy and aroma. But there are some species
which lasts for a longer period of time even though cut from the bloom. Here are
some points which you can keep in your mind to extend the life of cut flowers.
So, while buying flowers from florist in Newborough keep these facts in mind.
Rose: Vase life of a rose is 7-10 days.
You need to keep them in cool water. While buying a rose buy one with a firm
head. Squeeze the bud to check the firmness. It is advisable to cut the rose
submerged in the water. While cutting the stem, it breathes, so if submerged in
water it will inhale the fresh water in its entire stem.
Orchid: It lives for 14-21 days in a vase.
Water should be changed every day. Remove the faded flowers to restore the
energy to the stem.
Carnations: Similar to the orchid it can live
up to 21 days in a vase. For doing that, you need to remove the petals from the
water. You can do innovation with white carnations by adding up colors to the water.
Petals will take the color from the water.
Lily: A cut Lily can last up to 14 days
in a vase. To increase the life, you need to remove the pollen pods. It can be
done by using gloves or paper towel. All species of lilies are not fragrant. ‘Star
gazer’ is a species which has got good fragrance.
Next time while you go to your
home, cut the flower with an angle of 45 degree by a sharp knife before placing
them into a vase.
