How to keep the bouquet longer

To begin with, here are some recommendations that apply to almost any color with rare exceptions. For convenience, we will arrange these tips in the form of a list of the following points:

• Remove the packaging in which the bouquet was delivered or purchased. No matter how soft and environmentally friendly it is, the flowers will "breathe" better and get moisture without packaging.
• In cold weather, allow the flowers to adapt to the temperature changes. They should be kept for 20 - 30 minutes in the hallway, on the veranda or in another room cooler than the room.
• The optimum water temperature for storage is 12-18 degrees. The water should be changed regularly, and it is not recommended to add any "folk" remedies to it.
• Before placing flowers in the vase for the first time and every time the water is changed, they must be pruned. It is recommended to cut with a knife at an angle of 45 ° C. Moreover, for the longest possible preservation of flowers, they must be cut under running water.
• Spray or moisten the leaves regularly. Those that get into the water should be carefully cut off. This will increase the amount of water flowing to the bud. This point is especially important for hyacinths and tulips.
• Store bouquets or flower boxes away from drafts, direct sunlight, heaters, and air conditioning. The optimal place is where there are no adverse factors, and sunlight does not get more than 2 hours a day.
