How to extend the lifespan of flowers in bottles
1. The time to pick flowers in the morning is best when the dew is not dry in the morning. After cutting off the branches, it is advisable to immerse them in warm water immediately to stimulate the opening of the quill tube and absorb water fully to avoid drying.
2. The more oblique the incision, the better the
cut the branches, and the more oblique the incision, the better. For thick woody plants such as black pine and azalea, you can also cut the skin about 3 cm at the incision and crack it slightly with a hammer to enhance its water absorption function.
3. The flower-cutting branches in water should be carried out in water to prevent air from entering the water-absorbing pores of the branches and affecting the water-absorbing effect.
4. Peel the skin 6 mm
Peel the skin of the flower stem inserted in the vase by about 6 mm, and apply Vaseline to extend the flowering period.
5. For flowers with strong water absorption, such as chrysanthemums, Christmas flowers, orchids, the branches can be longer. The branches with weak water absorption should be shorter, and the closer the water, the better.
6. Burn the incision of the woody flower stems for a few minutes, or apply some salt to the incision to prevent the incision from rotting prematurely.

Adding a few drops of vinegar to the vase can make the flowers easily absorb water and keep them alive for a long time. Vinegar also has a sterilization effect.
9. Tie into bunches of flowers with large stems and thin flowers, tie them into bunches with waste short branches and then insert them into bottles.
