Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- It's summer -- floral abundance is everywhere! I love love love flowers both in my garden and in my house. Although my own garden is mainly succulents, bromeliads and Mediterranean plants, I'm fortunate to live in an area where I get beautiful, locally grown flowers at our Santa Barbara Farmers Market every week.
I also share tips on keeping cut flowers fresher longer in the blog post entitled Fabulous Fresh Cut Flowers which goes along with this video. You can see those tips in written form, check out an interview with Debra Prinzing & see photos of beautiful flowers I took at our farmers market by clicking on this link: www.joyusgarden...
This is where I share all things gardening & creating. Let's get out in the garden & make the world a beautiful place!

-Cut them diagonally about an inch up, then put in cool water
-Get rid of any of the leaves that could get in the water
-Put a sugar solution (sugar and bleach?) in the water for nutrients
-Prevent bacteria with some bleach and get rid of the foliage that touches the water
-Recut stems and change water five days in
-Keep out of hot sunny window
I cannot tell you how much your video meant to me. The flowers from Mom's funeral looked pretty grim when they got home, and your cut flower food has made them look great again. It has helped us very much this week that her flowers are still beautiful..
The most practical and helpful, straight to the point video of all on flower preservation. Thank you.
I love flowers and I love being able to take care of them I used to use a spray bottle directly on the flowers, and the sugar solution, plus cutting the stem diagonal which i see you do, and i didn’t hear you mention the importance of the diagonal cut... thanks darling!
I'm 78 and have recently taken up flower photography. A friend brought me some orchids and I hadn't known how to keep the cut stems. Until now! Thank you.
Another friend lives in Santa Barbara and he said that a lot of the greenhouses that grew orchids in Carpenteria had converted to growing marijuana.
This was sooooo informative !!! Thank you sooooo much ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this video! My sister wants to cut a Poppy that grew by herself on the front yard, and if that happens, i want to keep her alive so she can enjoy her last days at her best.
what the sugar does is it acts as a glucose to feed the cells so the cells can keep the (whatever it is) alive :)
that's why sugar helps with bursts of energy and keeps the flowers or plants fresher for longer :)
how often should I feed em?
@@MillieTV. Change the water every five days or so.
Add some sugar to the fresh water and put fresh cuts on the stems again at a 30 degree angle.
Thank you for great idea... I do this for my fresh flowers in my shop.
Looking at the flowers but I love your blouse. Lol Great tips.
Thanks for the great tips 😍😍😍
Thank you so much for this simply good idea........ my sister is learning decoration....she wants to be decorator in my event organisation...she'z making all types of decoration...but she like flower decoration most....... for flowers.........she alwyz worry about car decoration...the flowers look's sad qwikly :( ...and offcorse it's about india's weather..... :P ....well......i'm sure this idea gonna work...... thanks again :)
You're very welcome! Sarvesh Patil India is very hot so yes, the flowers would wilt fast outside. Be sure to share the video with your sister because she might be able to use some of the tips when she becomes a decorator. thanks for your comment, Nell
Wow. Thanks!
Thanks so much for this video!
Thanks for sharing!
Can you dissolve some honey in water, let it cool, and leave the flowers in that solution? I understand that honey has antibacterial properties.
R thank you for your tips, I always wonder why my flowers die so fast four day 1 week the most
You're welcome Jose! Nell
❤❤❤❤❤❤ good you ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing, i just wanna ask can you just spray the food solution to keep it fresh or you really need to put it in the vase?
Nice

Thank you!
Thank you for this. I have fresh cut roses right now. I live in a basement apartment and the roses are doing well.I have 3 windows and decent sun light down here. Can I put other flowers down in a basement ? and what kind. Thank you
Hi Tomisha Moore - I'm glad you like flowers too! Cut flowers have a limited life because they've been cut away from the plant, their source of life. You can put almost any cut flowers in a basement because they're not growing any more & don't need the sun. Actually, direct sun shortens the live of cut flowers. Roses typically need a lot of sun & they're doing well in you're living space. Just be sure to cut the ends of the stems & change the water every 3-6 days. Thanks for watching! Nell
Where did you find that orchid stem? It’s beautiful and Iv never seen that before
I wish I could get mine to last as long as you do. I change the water (sugar and vinegar) every 2-3 days and it still dies around 6-7 days.
@@phoenix9999 will do. thanks
very helpful
Should I use the flower food it comes with along with the bleach & sugar?
thanx
You're very welcome! +abdullah bham Nell
Never would have thought of using soda and bleach woah
thank u.great vdo

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ yes my dear friend ❤❤ beutyfull falwar and you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I know this was posted yrs ago.. but I just received a bouquet of flowers for valentines. I want to keep them as long and fresh as possible. I googled caring for them on google prior to coming here and they said to use warm water. Does anyone know if it matters?
What are your favorite flowers to have inside if you can only pick one I understand the it may be hard lol so which ever ones are your favorite ;)
what is the name of the yellow flowers on the left hand side?
Doing this routine, typically how long are you able to keep your flowers going and alive?
Around 4 weeks, Still depends on Species
Fresher
Clorox beach ?
what is the name of the white flower?
I think its a orchid?
Do you need to give them food every time you change the water?
You don't answer my question maybe you don't know
Do you have to use bleach?
crazy4kawaii!! I’ve had pretty good luck replacing the bleach with white vinegar 😊🌼
Fresher the Longer (LOL!)
