Have you received this durable floral solution as a gift? For such cases, our company Beauty Flowers has prepared this article, because you are probably interested in how to extend the durability of flowers arranged in this way.
Tips for caring for a flower arrangement in a basket or box
Such flower ensembles are placed in a sponge, which needs to be watered periodically, following these simple rules:
- Water once a day - with sufficient humidity.
- At high air temperatures, the composition should be watered in the morning and closer to night.
- Use water passed through a filter.
- If the flower combination has many buds that do not open for a long time, it is worth using warm water for watering. When watering with cold water, the flowers bloom more slowly.
- Make sure that drops do not fall on the buds.
To prolong the freshness and neatness of the composition as much as possible, we recommend wiping the leaves of the flowers with a damp cloth or cotton pad daily.
Atmosphere for a floristic gift
It is best to keep the container with flowers in a cool place. It should not be in direct sunlight or near a heating device. The flowers should be exposed to diffused sunlight.
If the wilting process has begun, you should try to restore the freshness of the flower. To do this, remove it from the sponge, quickly make an oblique cut at the bottom of the stem and return the plant to its place.
It is necessary to clean the composition from wilted components, otherwise in a couple of days the entire work of floristic art will lose its presentability.
Each flower has its own storage conditions
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that each cut plant has its own optimal storage conditions. For example, tulips feel better in cold water, and gerberas in warm water.
Freesias need more moisture than most representatives of the flora. When planning the care of the composition, it is better to study what ornamental plants it consists of and provide comfortable conditions for everyone.
When composing flower arrangements, our talented and experienced florists always focus on the compatibility of plants. Now you know how to keep a floral gift fresh if you purchased it in advance.
