To revive a bouquet that has begun to fade, you can hold it in a cold bath for a couple of hours, and then put it in a solution of saltpeter (a teaspoon of the substance per 1 liter of liquid).
Why do cut roses wither quickly in water
Cut flowers wilt quickly because they lack the water and nutrients they received during their life on the plant.
In addition, when a flower is cut, the integrity of the stem is disrupted and the cycle of water and nutrients is interrupted, which also contributes to rapid wilting.
How to refresh roses
Roses can simply be placed in a bathtub filled halfway with ice water.
In the morning the flowers return to the vase. Instead of store-bought fertilizer, you can use a small spoonful of sugar.
It is poured into a vessel where the cut plants are located.
How to revive a rose from a store
The first step is to give the bush a good bath - place the rose seedling in a container of water for a day or two.
It is better to use snow instead of chlorinated tap water. It is useful to add honey to the container - a tablespoon per bucket.
After 24-48 hours, the rose is placed in the “resuscitation ward”.
What to add to water to make a bouquet of roses last longer
Add nutrients and antibacterial agents to the water.
For example, dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar and 1-2 tablets of acetylsalicylic acid.
The latter can be replaced with activated carbon.
