Before arranging flowers, if you have thought about the general shape of the work, you can choose the ideal flower material and leaf material according to your own preferences.

? Here are some things to pay attention to when buying:

1, flowers had better be in bud. When the flowers are fully absorbed, they will bloom naturally and look fresh.

The longer the stem, the better, because the longer the stem, the more lasting and fresher the flowers are. You can extend the viewing time ~

3. Touch the end of the flower stem with your hand. If the surface is slippery, it means that bacteria are growing. The flowers have been stored for a while, and they are not very fresh ~ give up decisively!

When purchasing flower materials, we should also consider the length of petiole or leaf stem, the longer the better; Also check whether the roots and stems of the leaves are smooth to ensure that the leaves are fresh.

In addition, we should pay attention to the following two points.

1, buy bright and even leaves, and give up decisively if there are many dead branches and rotten leaves.

2. Check the rooting of the leaf material, and buy the leaf material with dense root system and no decay.

Fresh keeping of flowers

1, oblique insertion

After cutting off the rotten part of the stem, cut it obliquely and arrange flowers.

It can increase the water absorption area of plants, keep flowers moist and full.

As for how many leaves should be left at the foot of the flower, if there are too many fresh leaves after cutting off the dead and dry leaves, we should also divide the leaves decisively, because the leaves will also consume plant nutrients, but don't cut all the leaves, so that the flower will die quickly. Only by keeping proper flowers and leaves can we conform to the law of healthy growth of plants.

2. If it is a vase flower or a shallow-pointed mountain flower arrangement, change the water in time.

The water surface of vase flowers should not exceed two-thirds of the stem. Remember to trim the tail of the flower stem slightly every time you change the water, about 1cm.

Changing vases regularly or scrubbing them clean can keep flowers fresh for a longer time ~?

3. If it is a flower arrangement with flower mud, it is necessary to ensure that the flower mud fully absorbs water.

4. Add some vitamin C, detergent or salt to the water.

It can inhibit the growth of bacteria, ensure clean water quality and avoid polluting plants.

Step 5 add preservatives

Adding water-soluble alcohol, KMnO4, camphor, boric acid, citric acid, salt, alum and other chemical preservatives can inhibit the growth of bacteria. So as to inhibit the shedding of flower branches and prolong the opening time of flowers.

6. Burn the tail of the flower stem

This method is unpopular, so be careful not to get burned. By burning, a "protective film" is formed on the surface of the flower stem, which prevents the entry of bacteria and prolongs the life of the flower material.

? Leaf material preservation

The principle of leaf material preservation is similar to that of flower material preservation, and two points should be paid attention to-delaying the consumption of plant nutrients and preventing bacteria from breeding pollution.

Therefore, the above flower preservation methods are also suitable for leaf materials.

In addition, add some tips:

Decisively cut off dead branches and rotten leaves, put fresh leaves flat, spray water properly every day, and turn them once a day.

This can prevent the leaves from turning yellow and rotting and prolong the life of the leaves.

? supplement

The fresh-keeping methods of flowers and leaves listed above are the most basic and commonly used methods.

In order to protect flowers and leaves more accurately and efficiently, specific situations need to be solved.

We need to constantly observe, think and summarize in the process of conservation, truly enter the world of plants, and combine various conservation and preservation methods to solve them in a targeted manner.
