What to do to make the flowers cut in a vase long?
They are one of the most beautiful decorations of any interior. Most often we place them in the living room or on a table in the dining room. And we want them to stand fresh as long as possible. It will certainly help the frequency of water in a vase, thanks to which we will prevent the development of bacteria and rotting of the stems. The key is also the state in what condition the flowers will be when we buy them or get them. When buying, check the condition of the flowers and their stems – they should be firm and green. It is the state of the stems that can tell us if the flowers are fresh. Remember to cut their stems obliquely at a length of 2 cm before putting the flowers in the vase, using sharp scissors or pruning shears. Set the vase in a cool place – not in the sun and it is important that it stands away from a bowl with fruit. Of course, the end of summer is the best time for cut sunflowers, which are a substitute for warm and sunny days in our home. And what to do to extend the freshness of sunflowers in a vase?
Pour 1 teaspoon and the sunflowers in the vase will be fresh for up to 10 days
Sunflowers in a vase can stand for up to 10 days and look fresh and beautiful during this time, if you add a special conditioner to the water. If you don’t have her at home, replace it with sugar. All you have to do is add one teaspoon of sugar per 1 liter of water in a vase, and much longer than usual. Well, sugar in water in a vase acts as a nutrient, providing energy and helping to maintain the firmness of flowers, which contributes to the extension of their life. Of course, remember one very important principle here – sugar works best in combination with other ingredients, such as vinegar or lemon juice, which help inhibit the growth of bacteria in water.
