Treat cut carnations this way after bringing them home and the blooming period is extended by a week
Ahem~~ This Sunday is Mother's Day. Have you thought about what gift to give your mom? Many people now choose to give flowers, especially carnations, but they quickly wilt after you buy them. So today, Huahua will teach everyone how to extend the viewing time of carnations!
Carnations have bright colors and a faint fragrance, and they are regarded as the national flower by many countries. They are also an essential flower for Mother's Day gifts. Compared with other flowers in flower shops, their blooming period is still quite long, so they are quite cost-effective!
During holidays, we usually buy bouquets from flower shops. Never buy them and leave them without any care, just sitting there. Although the shop adds water at the bottom, it is still best to take the flowers out and care for them, which can also extend the viewing time.
First, we need to prepare a vase, choosing it according to the size of the bouquet, then pour in water that has been left to stand (if you decide to buy a bouquet, you can leave the water to stand in advance). Next is handling the flowers. We need to first untie the bouquet, then remove some of the leaves from the bottom of each stem (this depends on the water level in the vase), otherwise the leaves soaking in water can easily cause rot.
Next, we need to use scissors to cut each flower stem at an angle at the bottom. The main purpose is so that water can be transported smoothly. After all, during the process, the wound on the flower stem will heal, thereby blocking the transport of nutrients. After trimming, we can insert the flowers into the vase one by one, and then they can be placed anywhere in the home.
Do not just ignore it like that. Normally, the water needs to be changed every two days, and in summer, try to change the water every day! While changing the water, we should also trim the stems, so as to ensure its viewing time. Or when buying, directly choose some stems with many buds, so that when you bring them home and care for them, you can enjoy flowers at different stages!
Actually, we can also grow a pot of carnations at home ourselves, and caring for them is very simple. You can directly buy a complete potted plant from the flower market to care for, and of course you can also buy its seeds and grow them yourself, but the care method for carnations does not change. It likes sunny and well-ventilated environments. Insufficient light will cause the plant to grow leggy and lose its original beauty. If you find that the plant has a tendency to grow taller, be sure to pinch and top it in time, so as to ensure the blooming of the flower buds!
