A bouquet of sunflowers, how to care for a long time to be fresh

Designer bouquets of sunflowers – this is a real trend the last few seasons, try to offer its customers virtually every self-respecting floral workshop. Nothing surprising in this, because flowers sunflower look just gorgeous in and of themselves, and with the accompaniment in the form of green and (or) variegated buds. Today, however, we would like to tell you about floral fashion, and how to properly care for your arrangement of sunflowers, so it really pleases you with its beauty and freshness.

so, what you need to know for those who received a gift or want to order a bouquet of sunflowers? Sunflowers in our country traditionally considered as summer plants because their flowering period is July-the month. However, no problems will arise and at those who decide to order a bouquet of sunflowers in the winter, spring or fall. Another thing is that to bring such a composition from a cold to a warm home immediately is not necessary. Give the flowers a little getting used to – let them stand for 30-40 minutes on the glazed balcony or in the stairwell.

the above rule is true for hot summer days. Especially if the flowers fall from the Sunny streets directly into the cool air-conditioned room. In this case, it does not hurt the plants to give a little to get used to and to find for them a suitable place with an average temperature between street and home.

the Only case where rules "acclimatization" can be ignored – if it was ordered from a professional flower delivery. Kiev and every self-respecting floral workshop from this city has specialized transport, where an optimal temperature for plants. There are, of course, not as cold as in the dead of winter on the street and not as hot as under the open sky in the middle of summer.

Well, the flowers got to the apartment, what´s next? And then you need to find them a suitable vase. However, in the case of sunflowers is usually a better choice of special decorative pail. Why? Far not in each house there is a large vase, while sunflowers don´t like the tightness, it is important the space.

a Vase or a bucket was found, and now what? Now we need to fill the water tank. Ideal – water melt. We are talking about water, which is first frozen (you can use plastic bottles), and then thawed and allowed to acquire room temperature. Melt water? Then fit well defended (at least a couple of hours, but better – for a few days), the water. Of course, such water should also be at room temperature.

Please note that flowers are sunflowers “drink” is very fast and a lot of water. And because do not forget, at least twice a day to check the level and add in a bucket or vase right amount of liquid.

another important point, which also should not be forgotten. Be sure to carefully with a sharp knife at a slight angle trim the stems every sunflower seed before you put it in the water. You can also lightly scratched with a knife or punctured in several places with a needle stem of the plant. But to disengage the stem in the case of flowers of sunflower do not need.

don´t forget also to remove all the leaves from the stems. Not one green leaf should not touch the water, because it was he who, in this case, can become a source of putrefaction and cause a fairly rapid wilting of the whole bunch.

There is one more important tip, simple rule, which applies to all designer bouquets. Should not be placed in such a way that the flowers fall to direct sunlight. Not the best place for a bouquet and where there is a draught. And disastrous it would be to the neighborhood with fruits and vegetables.

the above suggestions are not difficult (choose the correct vase for the flowers, place the bouquet in a draft, and remember that the best option – professional flower delivery). Kiev and many salons offer their clients to order a bouquet of sunflowers, and now you know how to properly care for such colors.
