Wall orchids, also known as eustoma, are loved by many housewives for their noble and radiant beauty. However, in some cases, the flowers wilt quickly or rot at the root after only a few days of arranging the vase. Taking care of wall orchids requires meticulous care techniques right from the initial processing stage, helping the flowers stay fresh for a long time and have the most durable color.
Flower selection and processing
The first secret that housewives need to pay attention to is how to choose flowers. Priority should be given to branches with both buds and flowers that are just moderately blooming with plump petals. When bringing home, it is necessary to remove some leaves at the base to avoid soaking in water causing quick rot. Crossing a part of the base at a 45-degree angle will help flowers absorb water in the best way.
Water mixing techniques for flower arrangement
Mixing flower water also maintains color durability, so housewives should use filtered water or water that has been left overnight to reduce chlorine. Adding a little sugar and a few drops of lemon juice to the vase will help stabilize the acid concentration in the water and stimulate flower buds to bloom evenly, while keeping the stems and branches always strong and not collapsing due to dehydration.
Change water regularly
The lumen normally accumulates mucus and bacteria after a day of arranging flowers, so changing the water regularly will help flowers stay fresh longer. Each time you change the water, you should wash the vase and the base of the stem as well as cut off about 1cm of the old base. Keeping the vase clean will help reduce odors and fresh flowers.
Location for the vase
Wall orchids should be placed in a cool, ventilated place, avoid placing the vase in places with direct sunlight or near hot heat sources such as TVs or refrigerators. In the late afternoon, you can place the vase in cool, windy areas to help flowers maintain long-lasting vitality.
