Flower Arrangement Tips That Make Plants Look A Lot Better

Having flowers in your home is going to make many interior designs look a lot better, especially when they are fresh. Unfortunately, it is not at all easy to handle flowers. You need to be sure that you take care of them and the tips below will surely help you out a lot. Remember that you do not need things that are as complicated as John Deere drill parts but you still have to be sure you are careful about what you do with the flowers. 

Water Is Important

As soon as you get the flowers home you need to put them in water. Make sure you fill your buckets with quality tepid water and you add floral preservative. After this you can add flowers. This will make the flowers last a lot longer.

Flowers Have To Be Cut

Take a really sharp knife and then cut one inch off stems. This is especially important in the event that flowers are going to sit for a while before you will manage to arrange them. Fresh cuts are important as they help stems better absorb water.

Don’t Forget About Water Temperature

If you have tightly closed flower heads, warm water will help them fully open. The best examples of these are ranunculus or roses. You want to leave these in water for around a couple of days before you are going to use the flowers in your arrangements.

You Can Use Foam

Florist’s foam is the secret of many interior designers when working with flower arrangements. They help the flower remain hydrated and constantly in place. Just soak foam for around 15 minutes before you cut all for container fit. Water foams every 2 days and arrangements will last longer.

You Need To Trim

Before you add the stem to your flower arrangements you need to recut them. Be sure you strip off the leaves that are falling below water line. This also increases arrangement lifespan.

Carefully Place Flowers From Heavy To Light

The heavy, large flowers should be arranged first. You want to be sure that placement is even so turn arrangements so all sides are covered. Then, fill in the airier, smaller blooms. Be sure you leave enough space between stems in order to allow the individual flowers to shine and not feel crowded. Try to include flowers that have different stem lengths and shapes.

Speaking about height, it is always a really good idea to make the flower bouquet taller than the container. Do so by around 1 and a half times. At the same time, you have to be sure that width is properly balancing height.

Use Similar Colors

It is great to mix in various different textures if you want to make the arrangement look better but this tends to only happen when the initial flower arrangement is monochromatic.

Never Forget About Placement

Last but not least, you want to keep the flowers away from heating vents and sunlight. This is just as important as often watering and stem recut.
