Have you ever obtained a bouquet as a gift or a thank-you? For anyone like most people, you have at some point! So, how do you keep those wonderful blossoms from wilting two days after you get them?
The first step in keeping those blossoms clean is developing a solution of plant water and meals. Often, the store from which the blossoms were purchased will supply you with enough plant meals for the life of the plant. However, if this is not the case, it can easily be purchased at any flower shop or nursery.
Plant meals is important because it maintains your blossoms for longer than water alone. Generally, you will want to use awesome water, for the container, unless your design contains budded blossoms that you want to flowers. If you want to speed the blossoming process, use warm tap or drinking water. Never use water from a water softener! The sodium prevents drinking habits.
