During the Chinese New Year and other festivals, many friends like to put a few pots of fresh flowers in vases at home, which are more ornamental than potted flowers. These flowers are beautiful, but their shelf life is really too short. Is there any way to extend their shelf life? Let us enjoy them for a few more days?

First, less light

Generally speaking, we know that potted flowers need sufficient light to bloom, because the leaves of potted flowers need the sun for photosynthesis. Of course, fresh flowers also need sufficient light to grow fuller. If there are unopened buds, it is best to put them in a place with sufficient light to dry.

However, when the flowers are half open, it is best to take them to a place with scattered light and watch them directly, so that you can enjoy them for a few more days. If they are exposed to the sun for a long time, the flowering period will be shortened.

Second, ventilation is also important

Sometimes we put too many flowers in the arrangement, and the ventilation environment is not good, which can easily cause the leaves to fall off or rot. The freshness is uneven, and the condition is getting worse and worse. Therefore, when we put flowers in the arrangement, it is best not to put too many flowers in the arrangement, but to maintain the density.

Third, add some ingredients to the water

If you want it to bloom longer, you can add a tablet of vitamin C or aspirin to the water. After it melts, it can reduce bacterial infection at the roots, prevent root rot, and allow it to bloom for a few more days.

Fourth, remove the extra leaves

When we put the flower branches in water, we can remove some of the excess leaves, especially the part that is inserted into the vase, to avoid the problem of yellowing, falling and rotting leaves at the bottom, which will affect the ornamental value. Usually, we should change the water more often, and change the water every one or two days to avoid rotting and yellowing leaves. If the flowers are in bloom, try to put them in a place with a lower temperature, which can appropriately extend the flowering period.

Friends who like to grow flowers at home can try these little methods, maybe they can enjoy the flowers for a few more days.
