在你收到花束之后,你可以根据下面简单的保养指南让花朵更长时间地保持新鲜。学会如何让花朵保持鲜艳,不仅会增添它们带给你的享受,而且会让它们充满生机,持久绽放。

在运输过程当中为了要延长花朵的生命,基本要建立在糖分和低数量细菌的基础之上。阿司匹林药片(不是布洛芬)的效果就非常好。阿司匹林似乎可以延长花朵的寿命,只是不要忘记每日修剪一下花朵末端。

鲜花保鲜指南
每日都检查一下花朵
▲要保证干净的水可以充分浸泡花卉泡沫


保证花瓶,容器或玻璃长瓶中始终装有新鲜的水。即使容器中装有花卉泡沫,你也应该保证水位的高度足以让花朵维持鲜艳。要在容器中的水里添加花朵可以吸收的营养物质。如果你想把水全部换掉,你应该彻底清洗一下容器。可以用清水勾兑一些买来的花朵营养液。在你买花的花店可能会提供你这些营养液,它们含有适当的营养物质可以良好地滋养你的花朵,保持其不受细菌干扰(细菌会堵塞花茎,阻碍其吸收水分),促进含苞待放的花蕾盛开,延长花束的生命。这是一种最好——也是最简单的方法——来延长花朵的生命,不过一定要正确依照包装上的说明。错误地混合营养物质在实际上可能是弊大于利。

重新修剪花茎
▲用一把锋利的刀倾斜修剪花茎
每隔几天,就要重新整理一次,并且要修剪花茎。要从底部减掉2厘米的花茎,确保倾斜修剪,这样就能提供给花朵充分吸水的机会。用锋利的小刀或者剪刀修剪。避免剪碎或剪穿花茎,因为这会破坏植物的导管,阻止其吸水。弄掉那些掉到水里衰败或损坏的花瓣及叶子。

为了不影响花茎在花瓶中的摆放的位置,就在花瓶边缘的位置用绳子把它们系在一起。保持它们原本的造型,用手握住绳子系起的地方重新修剪。然后,花瓶里放好干净的水和营养液,再把修建好的花朵重新放回花瓶。

给花朵换水,添加额外新鲜的营养物质


再放回花瓶之前,一定要仔细清洗花瓶,并且将室温水和营养物质混合均匀。要确保没有杂七杂八的碎片漂在水上(比如叶子和花茎的碎枝),因为这会促进细菌生长,缩短花朵寿命。

将花朵摆放在阴凉的地方
▲65°-72°华氏度/18°-22°摄氏度
大多数花朵最喜欢的温度大概是在华氏65到75度之间(18到22摄氏度),而且最好是远离阳光直射,炙烤或过冷的通风口,也不要放在吊扇下,以及电视机或散热器的上方,它们散发出的热量会让花朵脱水。不要把花朵放在熟透的水果附近,水果所散发出的少量乙烯气体会让它们过早凋谢。
家中常摆放的花,该如何保鲜
容易缺水的花——水仙百合!
你的水仙百合可能冒花苞了,一旦长出了新的花苞,那就要小心对待;给予它们适当的营养液,它们会盛放,并且会给你带来最大的视觉享受。水仙百合是一种需水量非常大的品种,所以你要记得时常检查花瓶,确保里面的水是满的(如果使用的是泡沫,要确保泡沫是饱含水分的),然后在每次换水的时候添加营养液。

需要悉心照料的——朱顶红!


朱顶红到手的时候有一些花朵可能已经有些要凋谢了,但是只要给予它们适当的照料,它们还会再一次绽放。它们的花茎需要时刻浸入水中,所以当你换水或者修剪花茎的时候,把它们拿出来填满水,用棉花球垫在每枝花的底部或者用手指托住下面,直到它们最终插回水中为止。它们的花茎可能非常脆弱,所以在你换水的时候要轻柔一些,不然会弯折或者断裂。保持每天都修剪花茎,即使是用透明胶绑住叶柄都能防止折断的发生。新绽放的花朵要细心照料,衰败或枯萎了的花朵要及时掐掉。

要轻拿轻放——银莲花!

上面所讲述的保养指南基本上都适用于银莲花,但是由于它们的花茎非常柔软并且非常容易受伤,所以当需要修剪的时候一定要轻拿它们的花茎。由于它本身精致的特性,这些美丽的花朵你可以欣赏3-5天。

能维持7-10天——贝壳花

这些微小,芬芳的绿色小钟铃成垂直列环排列。每一个小钟铃的中心都包含着一朵白色的小花。依照上面的保养指南,贝壳花应该还可以存活7-10天。

天堂鸟——喜温

每枝天堂鸟花茎上会包含大约4到5朵花(称为花序)。有时候只能看见一朵花,其余的花则隐藏了起来。当一朵露出来的花凋谢的时候就应把它除掉,这样下一朵花才能伸出来花船形的苞片。如果花朵没有出现,那么用手轻轻给它放松一下。这些瑰丽曼妙的花朵对低于10摄氏度的气温非常敏感,所以请将它摆放在一个温暖的地方。

马蹄莲——非常脆弱

相同的保养法则一样适用于马蹄莲,但是由于它们的大花苞(花朵有颜色的部分)非常容易受伤,因此一定要轻拿轻放。马蹄莲有厚厚的肉质茎,随着花朵逐渐衰败,花茎会慢慢蜷缩。为了维持花朵最长的寿命,你应该每两天就修剪一次。另外它们也是十分缺水的花,所以要时常检查花瓶里的水位。

康乃馨——要远离水果和蔬菜!

同样,前面的保养方式也适合康乃馨,它们对乙烯非常敏感,不过乙烯是无伤大雅的(注:乙烯对人和动物并无害处),这是一种由水果,蔬菜以及腐败的植物组织自然散发出的气体。不要让康乃馨接触乙烯是最好的。修剪康乃馨的时候,只需要在花茎的节点,也就是生长的花梗处修剪就好了。这有益于花茎充分吸收水分。在妥善保养康乃馨的情况下,它们一般还可以坚持7-14天,这会因品种而异。

水仙花——修剪的时候要小心仔细

水仙花在浅水中的存活时间会更长一些,所以每两天或三天,在你重新修剪的时候要给它们换水(额外添加适当的营养液),另外只需要花瓶里装半瓶水。你可以拿下保护套或轻轻地拿出它们。当水仙花的花茎被切断的时候,它们流出的汁液很有可能会缩短花的寿命。为了防止这种情况出现,在修剪了花茎之后,再把它们和其他花朵放回到一起之前,先将它们单独放在水中,至少12小时。一些现代利用水仙花球茎的设计还是非常得体的。根部的泥土被冲刷掉——你可以享受这棵完整的带有茎,叶,花的植物。

小雏菊——容易缺水的花!

前面讲过的方法也适用于小雏菊,但是要特别记住的,小雏菊是非常容易缺水的花,所以请经常检查水位线,并且确保花瓶中的水是满的,当然如果是泡沫,那么泡沫要充盈水分。

兰花——远离水果和蔬菜!

上面的保养方法对兰花来说也合适,包括它对水果,蔬菜和腐败的植物组织所释放出的乙烯非常敏感这一点。

小苍兰——摘除成熟的花朵

小苍兰也可以使用上面的方法,但是请注意,它们更喜欢室温水。花会开在头冠处——由大到小整整齐齐地水平排列。因为花朵要度过最繁盛的阶段,所以应该把它们摘下来,这样会让花朵更有吸引力。

非洲菊——需要经常换水

非洲菊的花茎非常容易受细菌感染,这会导致它们枯萎,所以应该每1到2天就给它们换一次水,而且需要在水中添加营养液。它们对乙烯和细菌非常敏感——所以要保证花瓶周围干干净净,没有落叶。

风信子——修剪的时候要当心

前面的保险指南还是适用于风信子,但是在修剪的时候要万分当心,它们流淌出的汁液有可能会缩短花朵寿命。为了防止这种情况发生,在修剪后,把它们和其他花朵放在一起之前,需要单独将它放置于水中至少12小时。在现代设计中,水培会非常得体地安置球茎和根部,形成一个完美的组合部分。将根部的泥土冲洗干净,以防水被弄脏。

绣球花——用温水照料萎靡不振的花朵

绣球花的花茎是木质的,所以它需要被大量浇水来延长自己的寿命。如果花朵过早枯萎,从花束中拿出它,重新修剪,然后在温暖的水中泡一小时。花朵会重新复苏,然后再把它放回到原本的花束中去。为了获得最佳的效果,要保证花瓶中的水位是满的。绣球花也可以制作成干花,把它倒挂在一个温暖的地方。虽然会稍微有一些褪色——但是干花可以放置9个月到1年的时间。

鸢尾花——保证水位充足

鸢尾花可以排成紧紧的一簇花苞放在花瓶中。但是它们会在1到2天的时间内迅速绽放。同其他春天的花朵,如郁金香和百合花一样,蓝色的鸢尾花非常美丽。它们在花瓶中的生命虽然短暂,但是非常美好。保持水位充盈,没有细菌的状态是最好的。在花瓶中鸢尾花可以维持3到5天的花期。

百合花——去除花粉,避免弄脏衣物

百合花的花粉会给衣物和家具染色,所以在摆放花束之前,要用纸巾小心地去除花药(位于雄蕊末端的橙色部分)。随着长时间摆放,你应该继续去除花药。同样遵循以上的保养方法,不过百合花非常脆弱,所以要小心对待。它们会一朵接一朵地盛开,所以你可以剪下接近主茎部分的花。

 

洋桔梗——可以维持7到10天

洋桔梗是一种色彩华丽,形似玫瑰的娇艳花朵,经过悉心的照料,它们还可以坚持7到10天。许多尚未打开的花苞都可以完全绽放。小花苞可能不会开放了,但是它们会支撑更大的花朵并衬托绿叶。

芍药花——非常脆弱,轻拿轻放!

遵循上述的照料方法,将芍药放置在阴凉处,避免其受到阳光直射。芍药在花束中一般都是完全盛开的状态。盛开的花朵是非常脆弱的,如果处理不当,它们可能会受伤,所以要给它们留出适当的空间,并将其移出。在悉心照料之下,它们可以维持7七天左右。

玫瑰——不要让叶子浸入水下

上述的一般方法都适用于玫瑰,确保在任何外部边缘的花瓣变色时将它们摘除(这称为保护花瓣),当叶子低于水位线的时候,应该把花束重新处理一下。经常修剪花茎会给玫瑰花带来最长的寿命。

如果你的玫瑰花已经出现了枯萎的兆头,你可以让它们恢复生机。在底部减掉大约2.5厘米的花茎,然后把整朵玫瑰泡在水槽或浴缸里。在放回花瓶之前,让它们吸收20到60分钟的水。

玫瑰花在凉爽的地方可以存活更长时间,但是如果你想让花朵迅速绽放,你可以暂时把它们放在一个温暖的地方(注:不要高于26摄氏度)。



After you receive your bouquet,you can help your fresh flowers last longer by following these simple cut flower care guidelines. Knowing how to make your flowers last longer will add to your enjoyment of them, and will help keep them vibrant and long lasting.

A floral life extender packet is typically included with your floral delivery, it is basically sugar that helps keep the bacteria count in the water low. An aspirin, (not ibuprofin), works just a well. Aspirin seems to lengthen the life of theflowers. Just be sure to snip a bit off the ends of the flowers each day.
Care Guidelines
Check your flowers dailyKeep the vase, containeror liner filled with fresh water. Even if the container has floral foam, you should keep the water level high to promote long lasting flowers. The container's water has a fresh flower food added to it. If you completely change the water, you should also thoroughly clean the container. Add fresh water mixed with a commercial fresh flower food. These flower foods may be supplied by the florist who delivered your order and they contain the correcting redients to properly nourish the flowers, keep bacteria at bay (which can block the stems and prevent them from absorbing water), encourage buds to open,and lengthen the life of the bouquet. It's one of the best—and easiest—ways to extend the life of your flowers, but be sure to follow the directions on the package correctly. Improperly mixed flower food can actually do more harm than good.

Re-cut their stemsEvery few days, remove the flowers from the design and re-cut the stems. Remove 3/4" to one inch from the bottom of the stem and be sure to cut the stem at an angle to allow the flower the best chance to take up water. Use a sharp knife or sharp floral cutter or scissor. Avoid smashing or piercing the stems, as this can destroy the water vessels in the stem and prevent water absorption. Remove any spent or damaged blooms or foliage that falls below the water line in the vase.

To avoid disturbing the stem placements in a vase arrangement, tie the stems with twine just above the vase's edge before taking them out of their vase. Hold the tied arrangement atthe twine-bound point to re-cut the stems. Then place them back into the clean vase with the fresh water and a flower food.

Change their water, and add additional fresh flower food

Be sure to clean the vasebefore refilling it with room-temperature water mixed with the proper amount of fresh flower food. Be sure no debris is floating in the water (such as leaves and stem parts) as this could promote the growth of bacteria which can shortena flower's life.

Display flowers in a cool spot

Most flowers prefer temperatures between 65 to 72 degrees Fahrenheit (18 to 22 degrees Celsius) and are best displayed away from direct sunlight, heating or cooling vents,directly under ceiling fans, or on top of televisions or radiators, which give off heat and can cause flowers to dehydrate. Avoid placing fresh flowers near ripening fruit, which releases tiny amounts of ethylene gas that can age them prematurely.
General flowers Care Guidelines
ALSTROEMERIA - thirsty flowers!

The buds of your Alstroemeria may appear, when new, to be very tight; with proper nutrition from flower food they should open to full bloom and maximum enjoyment. Alstroe meriaare particularly thirsty flowers, so check the vase often to ensure it is full(or the foam material is saturated) and add floral food with each water change.

AMARYLLIS - need TLC!

Amaryllis may arrive with some of their blooms closed, but with proper care, they will open into large flowers. Their stems need to stay filled with water at all times, so when you refresh the water and re-cut the stems, turn them upside down and fill them with water, plugging the bottom of each stem with a cotton ball or your finger until it is back in the vase. Their stems can be brittle and may bend or break when you refresh them. Keeping them trimmed daily and even wrapping the stemends in clear tape will help prevent this. As new blooms open, carefully pinchoff older, wilting blooms.

ANEMONE - handle gently!

The same general care guidelines described above apply to anemone, but because their stems are very soft and easily damaged, handle them gently and support their stems when re-cutting. The delicate nature of the blossoms means you'll enjoy them for 3-5days.

BELLS OF IRELAND - last 7-10 days

These tiny, fragrant,green bells are arranged in rings forming a vertical column. Each bell has atiny white blossom in the center. Follow the care guidelines listed above, and your bells of Ireland should last 7-10 days.

BIRDS OF PARADISE - like to be kept warm

Each stem of a bird of paradise usually contains about 4 to 5 flowers (called inflorescence).Sometimes only one flower is visible, where others are hidden in another partof the flower. When one exposed flower withers it should be removed and another one can be pulled out of the flower's boat shaped bract. If a flower doesn't emerge, gently ease it out by hand. These exotic blooms are sensitive to temperatures below 50 degrees F, so display them in a warm spot.

CALLAS - bruise easily

The same general care guidelines apply to callas but because their spathe (the colored part of the flower) can bruise easily, it's important to be particularly gentle when handling them. Callas have thick fleshy stems that tend to curl at the bottom as they age. They should be recut every 2 days for maximum vase life. They tend to be thirsty flowers, so check the water level of your vase often.

 

CARNATIONS - keep away from fruits and veggies!

The same general care guidelines described above apply to carnations, including their sensitivity to ethylene, a harmless (note: it does not harm humans or animals), naturally produced gas, which can be released by fruits, vegetables, and decaying floral materials. Keep arranged carnations free of ethylene producing materials forbest results. When you re-cut the stems, cut them just above one of the nodes that run up the flower's stalk. This will allow the stem to more easily draw the water it needs. When properly cared for carnations can last 7-14 days,depending on variety.

 

DAFFODILS - be careful when cutting stems

Daffodils last longer in shallow water, so when you re-cut their stems and change their water (adding additional floral food) every two or three days, fill the vase only partway.You can leave the protective husks on or gently remove them. When daffodilstems are cut, they release sap that can shorten the life of other flowers. To prevent this, after cutting their stems, place them in a bucket of water for at least 12 hours on their own before mixing them with other flowers. Some modern designs use daffodils with the bulb and roots still in tact on the stems. The soil is washed from the root system – and you can enjoy the full botany of the flower from roots to stem, leaves and blossoms.

DAISIES - are thirsty flowers!

The same general care guidelines described above apply to daisies, but keep in mind that these are particularly thirsty flowers, so check their water level often, and be sure that the vase is full and any foam materials are completely saturated.

DENDROBIUM ORCHIDS - keep away from fruits and veggies!

The same general care guidelines described above apply to dendrobium orchids, including theirsensitivity to ethylene gas, which can be released by fruits, vegetables, and decaying floral materials.

FREESIA - pluck out matured blossomsThe same general care guidelines described above apply to freesia, but note that they prefer room-temperature water. Blossoms appear on a comb – in order from largest to smallest on the horizontal comb. As blossoms pass their prime, they should be plucked or removed from the stem to keep the flower looking attractive.

GERBERA - change water often

Gerbera stems are highlysusceptible to bacteria blockage, causing their heads to droop over, so changetheir water often and replenish their supply of floral food every 1-2 days.Since they are particularly sensitive to ethylene gas and bacteria – keep thevase and surrounding areas clean and debris free.

HYACINTH - be careful when cutting stems

The same general care guidelines described above apply to hyacinths, but keep in mind that when their stems are cut, they release sap that can shorten the life of other flowers. To prevent this, after cutting their stems, place them in a bucket of water for atleast 12 hours on their own before mixing them with other flowers. In modern designs, hyacinths are arranged with the bulbs and roots in tact, as part ofthe composition. The soil is washed from the roots to prevent the water from becoming dirty.

HYDRANGEA - revive wilting blossoms with warm water

Hydrangeas have woodystems that need to draw water for maximum vase life. If a blossom wilts prematurely, remove it from the design, recut the stem at a sharp angle andplace in warm water for at least one hour. The flower should be revived and ready to take its place in the design. For best results keep the water level in their vase full. Hydrangeas can also be dried, by hanging them upside down in a warm spot. Although the color will fade slightly – the dried flowers can last between 9 months to a year.

IRIS - keep water levels full

Iris may arrive in your vase arrangement as tight buds. But they will open quickly and mature to open form usually within one or two days. Their beautiful blue blossom look good with other spring flowers like tulips and lilies. Their vase life is wonderful,although short lived. Keep water levels in the vase full and bacteria free for best results. Expected vase life is 3-5 days.

LILY - remove anthers to avoid staining clothingLily pollen can stain clothing and furniture, so carefully remove the anthers (the orangepollen-coated tips at the end of the stamens) with tissues before displaying your bouquet. As flowers open as your design ages, you should continue to remove the anthers. Follow the same general care guidelines described above,but since lilies bruise easily, handle them with particular care. Their blooms open in succession, and you can snip off spent flowers close to the main stem.

LISIANTHUS - can last 7-10 daysLisianthus have rose-like showy blossoms in grand colors, and with proper care they can last 7-10 days.Many of the unopened buds which show color may open fully. Smaller buds may notopen but simply support the larger blossoms and accent the foliage.

PEONIES - fragile, handle with care!Follow the general care guidelines described above, placing your peonies in a cool place out of direct sunlight. Peonies often arrive in bud stage and open fully while in the design.The open blossoms can be fragile and shatter if mishandled so give them space and move them only as necessary. With proper care they should last about 7days.

ROSES - don't let leaves fall below waterline

Follow the general care guidelines described above for your roses, being sure to remove any discoloredpetals on the flower's outer edge (called guard petals) and foliage that fallbelow the waterline when refreshing your arrangement. Recutting the stems oftenwill give your roses the longest vase life.

If your roses begin towilt, you may be able to revive them. Trim off about an inch from the bottom ofits stem and then submerge the entire rose under water in a sink or bathtub.Allow the stem to absorb water for about 20-60 minutes before returning them to their vase.

Roses last longer in acool area, but if you want their blooms to open quickly, temporarily place them in a warmer spot (Note: not hotter than 80 degrees Fahrenheit).
