Flower arrangement is a very artistic thing, and you can try to make flower arrangements at home. Beginners should learn how to handle flowers, fix shapes, and insert them according to requirements to keep them fresh and promote beauty.

1. Handling flowers

The flowers on the market may experience leaf rot and even disease and insect infestation due to storage and transportation. Before arranging flowers, the entire plant should be thoroughly pruned to ensure its ornamental value.

2. Fixed shape

Before arranging flowers, you must do a good job of fixing them. If the area of ​​the vase mouth is not large, you can use a cross to fix the branches so that the waist of the branches lean against the notch of the frame. Flowers with relatively thick branches, such as wintersweets, can be inserted into the vase seat through an oblique cut. For flowers with soft branches and thin stalks such as gerberas and marigolds, they should be tied together and inserted.

3. Form requirements

For beginners, flower arrangement only needs to ensure that it can survive. However, there are rigid rules for flower arrangement. The branches should be arranged in a staggered manner and should not be dull and lack artistry. There should be flowers and leaves that echo each other, with branches gathered at the base and scattered at the top.

4. Freshness preservation

After successfully arranging the flowers, you still need to keep them fresh. The vase and water used should be clean, and do not allow bubbles to remain in the rhizomes and affect the breathing of the roots. You can buy preservatives at the flower shop and use them according to the instructions.
