Preparing the stems

To preserve the bouquet for a long time, it is necessary to process the stems. Without this, the flowers will last no more than a week. With a sharp knife in water (if air enters the stem, the flower will decompose quickly), cut the stem at an angle of 45 °. First of all, this is done for larger area contact with liquid, and so that the stem does not burrow into the bottom of the vase, thereby not blocking the flow of moisture into the tissue of the flower. You can also gently split the ends of the stem. Lower leaves and the thorns must be removed in order to prevent further rotting.

Florists claim that roses can last more than 2 weeks in a vase. In some cases, you can even root the flowers, thereby extending their life already in the ground.

How to save purchased roses

If the flowers were bought somewhere and presented as a gift, then you should not immediately pull the bouquet out of the wrapping. It would be better to leave the flowers in it for at least a few hours. A special microclimate is created in the package, which will help the roses adapt to flowers faster. There is no need to immediately put flowers in a vase, first they need to be "watered". It's good if you have a bucket on hand. Then it must be filled completely and put in for several hours. If there is no bucket, then the flowers can be placed in the filled tub. The leaves of the flowers should be lowered under the water, and the buds themselves should be above the water level. Otherwise, the buds can quickly rot. Before you put the flowers in the water, you need to cut off the stems by 2-3 cm. The cut should be done obliquely, and then flattened a little. Then air plugs will come out of the flower capillaries and the water absorption will be much better. It is advisable to remove the bark from the stems 3-4 cm above the cut.

When the flowers are already in the vase, then you need to remove those leaves that are under water.

It is advisable to choose a vase in which 2/3 of the stems are under water. A ceramic vase is better than a glass or crystal vase because it does not transmit light. Water can be poured both boiled or settled, and tap water. The chlorine in the water will prevent bacteria from growing. You can also disinfect water with activated charcoal, an aspirin tablet, a glass of vodka, or a silver product. Water should be cool in summer and warm in winter. To saturate the flowers with carbohydrates, you need to add sugar to the water. You need to change the water every 2-3 days. At the same time, each time the flower stems are washed, the cut is renewed, and sugar and disinfectants are added to the water again. Roses must be kept away from sun rays and from fruits. It is advisable to spray flowers every day from a spray bottle. It is also useful to spray the buds at night, and then cover them with plastic.

You can also put roses in a cold water bath overnight. This will significantly prolong their life.

What to do if roses start to wither

Fresh flowers, when purchased, immediately stand out with healthy dark stems, shiny green leaves, petals tightly pressed against each other. Unpacked bouquet should be left at room temperature for several hours so that the flowers can more easily withstand the sudden change in temperature.

After that, you need to inspect the roses and process them. It is necessary to remove the packaging from the bouquet, to clean the lower part of the flower stems from thorns and leaves, as they can start to rot in the water.

It is enough to add a few drops of the product to a vase of warm water and flowers, and the bouquet will retain its fresh appearance for several more weeks. It is important to be careful when using these products to avoid getting them on the leaves and petals of roses, as they may leave white spots on them.
