Florist's "Brutal" Flower Revival Method Sparks Heated Discussion Among Netizens

Recently, a florist's "brutal" flower revival video went viral online, sparking widespread attention and heated discussion among netizens. In the video, the florist holds flowers and vigorously swings and whips them through the air, even slapping the blooms across the "face", and this series of seemingly rough actions left many netizens exclaiming in shock.

In traditional understanding, reviving flowers usually involves gentle operations such as carefully cutting the stems at an angle and soaking them in deep water. For example, common flower revival steps include 45° angle cutting of the stems, like preparing a hairtail fish, so the stems can better absorb water; submerging the stems 80% in a deep bucket, with the water line 5cm below the buds, creating a good water-absorbing environment for the flowers; covering them with a black plastic bag to mimic nighttime and promote water uptake; and in winter, using water at about 40℃, like the temperature for mixing formula for a grandchild, to revive the flowers.

However, this florist's flower revival method is completely different. In response to netizens' shock, the florist explained that doing this is meant to help the flowers quickly regain vitality; through external stimulation, it can help the flowers open their "breathing passages", thereby better absorbing water and nutrients. This novel flower revival method also opened many netizens' eyes. One netizen joked: "It's photosynthesis, after all, and a slap is also light. The flower: I'm blooming, stop hitting me", while another netizen said: "This is the first time I've seen such a rough flower revival method. I really learned something new."

Although "brutal" flower revival looks somewhat unbelievable, from a florist's professional perspective, it may have its own unique rationale. During flower transportation, due to prolonged compression and lack of water, flowers often end up in a "wilted" state. Traditional flower revival methods require a certain amount of time for recovery, while this seemingly rough method may use rapid physical stimulation to break the flowers' "dormant" state. However, whether this flower revival method is suitable for all flower materials remains to be further explored. For some more delicate flowers, excessive roughness may instead cause damage.

As this video spread,"brutal" flower revival also sparked discussion within the floral industry. Some florists believe this provides new ideas and methods for flower revival, and that on the premise of ensuring the flowers are not damaged, different methods can be tried to improve flower revival efficiency. Other florists remain cautious, worrying that if this method is abused, it may cause consumers to misunderstand flower revival and thereby affect the care results for fresh flowers.

On social media, the topic of "brutal" flower revival continues to rise in popularity. Many netizens have shared their own flower revival experiences, with some trying to imitate the florist's method and others sticking to traditional flower revival methods. No matter which method is used, everyone's goal is the same: to make the fresh flowers more beautiful and moving at the moment they bloom.

Whether it is the traditional gentle flower revival method or the novel "brutal" flower revival method, both are meant to help fresh flowers regain their vitality. On the path of pursuing beauty, florists continue to explore and innovate, bringing us more surprises about fresh flowers.
