1. Wake up. If the purchased flowers are somewhat dehydrated, waking them up is essential. Waking flowers is to replenish dehydrated flowers and restore them to their best condition. First, cut off 1-3 cm from the bottom of the flower stem at an angle of 45 degrees to remove the damaged petals and leaves. Choose a large, deep container and fill it with water (not too cold), put all the flowers except the flowers into the water and soak them for 3-4 hours. Be careful not to get water on the flowers to prevent petals from rotting.
2. Prepare flower water. I cleaned the vase, poured a little flower fertilizer into it, and threw in the expired amoxicillin capsules I brought from China. Add appropriate amount of water to reach one-third of the vase. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria that grow in water. The water treated in this way is not turbid and smelly, and the flower stems soaked in the water will not be slippery and damaged after a few days. There is not much water. Except for the bottom part of the flower stem that absorbs water, there is also very little part immersed in the water, which minimizes the chance of the flower branches rotting.
3. Routine maintenance. Change the water as above every 2-3 days, trim the withered flowers and leaves, and wash away the impurities on the flower branches. Before arranging flowers, cut off 1-2 cm of the bottom diagonally.
4. ProductionDried flowers. Every time I prune, there are always some flowers that bloom or break. Cut off fallen flower bones or flowers in full bloom and place them in a dark and well-ventilated place. After the flowers are dried, the dried flowers with the same color as before are ready. You can also choose flowers with good colors and shapes to use as flower materials for embossing. I saved the dried flowers and used them for cake decorations, and was thinking about trying some glue with dried embossed flowers sometime.
