Taking the time to provide a little extra care for pretty flowers can yield a plethora of benefits, including bigger blooms and an extended vase life that enhances the overall beauty of your floral arrangements.
When pretty flowers are plucked from their mother plants, they find themselves in a challenging situation, devoid of the essential elements such as water, food, and growth regulators that are typically supplied by the nurturing mother plant. To foster their natural development post-harvest, it becomes imperative to introduce these vital ingredients dissolved in water each time the water is replenished.
Pretty flowers deserve special attention, and cut flower foods play a pivotal role in this process. They encompass all the necessary components required for the unhindered growth of stems, leaves, and flower petals. Moreover, they contribute to the enhancement of size, color, and scent, ensuring a vibrant and visually appealing display.
It's important to recognize that the journey of pretty flowers doesn't end when they leave the grower's hands; they travel across the globe, from the field to the market to your vase. Throughout this journey, the flower stems inadvertently carry a microcosm of the growers', traders', and florists' micro-organisms, introducing them into the very water that sustains the flowers in your vase.
Consequently, the vase solution becomes a dynamic, ever-changing "soup" of micro-organisms, creating an environment that demands attention. The initial clarity of the vase water gradually transforms into a murky state, accompanied by an unpleasant odor.
This transformation is a result of the continuous activity of micro-organisms, feeding off the flower stems, especially those that may have incurred damage during harvest or transport. The decomposition of these stems becomes a breeding ground for
bacterial growth, leading to an unsavory smell and cloudiness in the vase water.
Ensuring Longevity: A Symphony of Beauty and Care for Pretty Flowers
By understanding the intricacies of this delicate process and taking the time to provide the necessary care, you can ensure that your pretty flowers not only blossom into larger, more vibrant blooms but also grace your living space with their beauty for an extended period, free from the hindrances of bacterial growth and degradation.
