HOW TO KEEP YOUR FLOWERS LOOKING FRESH

Image
Changing The Water In Your Flower Arrangement First remove any dead or dying flowers from the arrangement. After carefully removing the good flowers, clean the vase thoroughly with soapy water to remove any bacteria that could cause the fresh flowers to deteriorate even quicker. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. Replace the water  and mix in the flower preservative provided by your florist, according to the instructions on the packet. For best results, cut stems with a sharp knife at an angle about one to two inches from the bottom. This allows them to better absorb water. Do not use scissors to cut your flowers because they can crush the stems and prevent water absorption. Place loose stems or wrapped bouquets of fresh flowers in your water mixture as soon as possible. To buy gifts flowers and toys for your loved ones visit:  BorivaliFlowers

They are started in laboratories in test tubes under controlled conditions, which obviously costs more money than a normal house plant. They don't grow terribly fast, so it costs to keep them to a reasonable size to sell, and even longer if you want to sell a blooming sized plant. It can take anywhere from 3-6 years from seedling to bloom. Mericlones are also grown from stem tissue of certain types of orchids, like the slipper orchids. This is also a complicated ordeal and takes time and know-how. So, to give a short answer, they are difficult to collect seed from, germinate, grow on, or clone, take a long time to get to blooming size and require a lot of special conditions such sterility at first.
