Flowers and color There are two trends.Natural colors: white, sand, greenery and earth colors. On the other hand, the Byzantine style, which has become popular in Europe in the last two years, is represented mainly by the German, Swiss and Dutch schools. Shades of red, orange, burgundy, purple - powerful, saturated colors, at first glance, do not go well with each other. Flowers and fashionThe motto of modern flower fashion is back to nature. Everything, from vases to fastening material, is natural if possible. Widely used wire in braiding, bast, moss, hemp rope, ribbons, all kinds of interweaving, nets, frames made of grass and twigs. Even a convenient and beloved by all oasis today is trying to be replaced with moss, and it is decorative in itself.

Never buy flowers that have been standing in the sun;Make sure that the stems and leaves are not wilted and broken. Remember that the transparency of the flower indicates its age. It is better to buy roses half-opened, with sepals, tulips and lilies - at the stage of a colored bud, chrysanthemums and gerberas - with a dense core, without traces of pollen and seeds.

Don't put flowers in water straight from the cold!Let them get used to room temperature first. Be sure to trim the stems - make a slanted cut with a sharp knife or pruning shears, preferably in water. Peel the bark off thick rose stems and lilac branches, remove thorns from roses and split the tip of the stem. Remove leaves - the more leaves there are, the less nutrients the flower will receive.

You can't put a tall flower in a low vase - the nutrition won't reach the "head" at all.

Not every neighbor will please your flowers.It turns out that flowers react badly to proximity to fruits, especially apples, - this speeds up their life cycle. However, it is fruits that can help the bud to bloom faster.

Another problem is that the air is too dry.apartments. If possible, take the flowers out into a cool room at least for the night. Don't worry, they won't freeze - they easily tolerate temperatures up to +4 and can even be stored in the refrigerator.

There are many ways to prolong the life of flowers.The most accessible is to add half a glass of vodka to the water. Some flowers, such as gerberas, respond well to "Fairy" - we all know from advertising that it has an antibacterial effect. But no folk know-how can compare with professional products such as Chrysal, Flower Fresh, which are available in any self-respecting salon.

Contrary to popular belief, changing the waterEvery day is not worth it. It is better to pour it daily, then in the microenvironment, and the plant does not experience shock. The oasis floral sponge should be watered once every three days.
