Speaking poetic words is an effective way to penetrate a person’s soul. But sometimes these words are not enough. It is best to accompany them with delicate flowers that whisper kind words along with you. Isn’t it good when actions can speak for themselves? Having given flowers, each of us probably thought: “Why do flowers last so much longer in flower salons?” Most likely, if you ask an experienced florist this question, he will not be able to reveal the secret of storing cut flowers. You may hear a theory about a great love for flowers, which is indeed one of the important factors. After all, plants are a living organism that feels everything related to them. But this is not the most important thing. We are ready to reveal all our cards. Not each of us has the opportunity to go out into our garden and enjoy the aroma of fresh lilacs, roses or any other flowers. But keeping a bouquet in your room or workplace is quite possible. You received flowers. What to do next? First, it is very important to trim each stem by 1-2 cm at an angle of 45 degrees. The sharper your angle and the larger the water consumption surface, the easier the bouquet will be to “drink.” Try to remove as much foliage as possible, as this takes up most of the energy. The most important thing is to place the composition in cool water. Don't forget that flowers can die from dehydration in just a couple of hours.
The second rule is to ask the salon to give you Cryzal. Krizal is a food for freshly cut flowers that provides the flowers with vitamins and minerals. About 30-40 years ago, experienced florists advised adding sugar, honey and other substances to water, but times are changing and these methods are becoming ineffective. As practice shows, professionals do not use chrysal, since flower salons provide special conditions for storing flowers.
Rule number 3. Each plant has its own lifespan. Some live 4-5 days (royal hydrangeas, peonies), and there are a huge number of flowers whose lifespan can be extended by 2 or more weeks (roses, lisianthus, chrysanthemums). Each of them is individual and requires a reverent attitude towards itself. If you don’t know how best to care for a particular flower, it’s best to find information about it or ask your friends.
Rule number 4 is perhaps the most key. In flower salons, any flowers can stand for a long time without losing their quality. The secret is that they are stored in refrigerators at the most optimal temperature, which is difficult to achieve at home. The warmer or hotter the room, the faster the bouquet will fade. Of course, there are cases when you did everything according to the rules after receiving the bouquet, but it withered the next day. Unfortunately, there are a lot of unscrupulous flower shops that can “slip” you flowers that are not the freshest. Therefore, for the first time, we advise you to come and choose flowers in person: the bud should be hard and crisp, the petals should be fresh. Contact trusted florists so as not to spoil the surprise for yourself or the recipient.
That's all - the cards are revealed. Don’t forget one of the most important rules - always accept flowers with love, because they are alive and feel the aura of the recipient. Say more kind words, change the water daily and enjoy moments of happiness. Believe me, having heard and applied all the above rules, flowers will delight you for a long time, sometimes exceeding your expectations.
