How to choose and trim flowers before arranging
Herbal flowers have lush green stems, so when buying, you need to choose fresh buds with undamaged petals. A beautiful flower stem should have a main big blossom, maybe with an additional bloom and bud, both young and mature leaves. Choose a sturdy stem without any blemishes or breakage.
After buying, remove most of the leaves and trim some buds to concentrate the nutrients on nurturing larger blossoms. Trimming the leaves also helps the flower fit neatly into the vase, avoiding tangles and withering. Remember not to let the leaves sink under the water in the vase to prevent quick rotting.
If the flowers wilted during transportation, soak the stem in a bucket of water for about half an hour to revive them, but pay attention to only soak the stem part. When choosing a vase, prioritize a wide-necked vase for easy insertion without crushing the stems.
You can add flower nutrients or a little sugar and dishwashing liquid to the vase water to help the flowers stay fresh longer. Only immerse the stem about 5-7cm in water. Change the water daily and remove any slimy part of the stem.
Inserting the flowers upright with less water than usual helps the flowers stay fresh longer compared to submerging the stems with a vase full of water. Use a foam block for flower arranging and take care, the flowers can stay fresh for 7-8 days.
How to arrange a beautiful and elegant herbal flower vase with a peacock shape
Herbal flowers come in various colors, vibrant and especially the orange color is currently a popular trend. You can use foam blocks to preserve these orange herbal flowers longer.
First, soak the foam in water, do not press it down into the water, just let it slowly absorb water. This helps the foam soak up water from the outside to the inside. Therefore, you just need to let the foam float in the water for a short time for it to absorb enough water.
After the foam has expanded, place it into a vase with a peacock shape. Herbal flowers are lightweight, so you don’t need to secure the foam firmly. The surface of the foam is printed with words, so face it upwards to ensure the flowers can absorb water better. Remember to refill the water in the plate or dish at the bottom daily.
Choose 3 flower stems to create an equilateral triangle shape, adjust the height of the vase to match the number of flowers. The tallest stem should be about 35cm long. Curved stems should be inserted following their curve, consider placing them evenly on both sides and let the blossoms face the same direction.
Once you have the basic framework, continue inserting flowers to create an arc shape, from top to bottom and tilt forward to fill the vase. Insert some shorter flowers at the top of the vase, creating depth and covering the foam.
