The basic knowledge and skills of flower arrangement are as follows:
1. Flower picking time: It is best to expose the morning dew and be wet. The sun has just come out, and the evening is also good. At this time, the air is humid and easy to evaporate. When picking flowers during the day, you should immediately insert the flower branches into the water. If the journey is long, you should put the flower branches in a cold place first, and then carry them when they are cold.
2. Cutting method: the flower stem should be soaked in water, cut off about 3 cm above the original incision, and fully absorb water with the new incision. Cutting in water is to prevent the flower branch catheter from being blocked by the air column and unable to absorb water. When cutting, the inclined area of branches and stems is large, which makes the flowers absorb more water. Water content is the key to determine the life of cut flowers.
3. Finishing method: Take out the leaves of cuttlefish and soak them in water. Because leaves are easy to rot when immersed in water, it accelerates the reproduction of harmful microorganisms and destroys the water quality.
4. Selection of water: clean spring water or tap water with low temperature should be used for flower arrangement, and fresh-keeping liquid should be used if possible. If tap water is used, it should be stored for 1 and 2 days, and can only be used after its salt is precipitated. Distilled water should not be used for flower arrangement.
5. Selection of flower devices: There are many kinds of flower devices, and the greater the contact area between water and air in the container, the more beneficial it is to prolong the life of flower arrangement.
6. Flowers that are fully open and half open should not be directly exposed to the sun: individual flowers, such as unopened rose, can be exposed to the sun properly. In order to prevent flowers and plants from being too dehydrated, it is necessary to spray water on them frequently to keep them fresh.
