How to raise dry branches of Prunus mume

The first is cutting in water. When flowers are cut off from the mother, air easily enters the body tissues, which hinders the transport of water, thus accelerating the withering of flowers. Cutting branches in water can avoid air blocking water absorption and prolong the life of fresh cut flowers. When increasing the cross-section and cutting the flower branches, the cross-section at the end of the flower stems and branches should be enlarged as much as possible to increase the water absorption function of the flowers or flower branches. Herbs can be cut obliquely, and woody plants can cut the stem tip into 2 ~ 4 sections to enlarge the cross section and increase the water absorption function.

Step 2: Soak in water. After cutting flowers, the inflorescences and leaves of flowers wilted due to long-distance transportation, high temperature and long dehydration time. It can be watered to make it fresh, or its stems and leaves can be soaked in a container filled with cold water, so that the flower heads are exposed to water and placed in the shade for 1 ~ 2 hours, and the wilted flowers will return to their original freshness.

In addition, fresh cut flowers need to be replaced frequently. "Many flower friends bought fresh cut flowers and put them in water for conservation, but they still lacked the awareness of changing water." Yu Xiang told reporters that the purpose of changing water frequently is to keep the water quality clean, to prevent the flower stems from rotting due to bacterial reproduction or invasion, thus affecting the water quality and accelerating the withering of fresh cut flowers. In addition, in order to prevent rot, all leaves of fresh cut flowers inserted in vases and soaked in water must be removed. Also, when changing water, the inner wall and bottom of the container must be cleaned to ensure the cleanliness of the water. Under normal circumstances, change water flexibly according to the weather and season, such as changing water twice every morning and evening in summer; Change water every 2 ~ 3 days in spring and autumn; Change the water every 3 ~ 4 days in winter.
