How to preserve lily and gladiolus in vase for a long time

The methods for long-term preservation of lilies in vases are as follows:

1: Lily vase insert

You can put them in a bottle when you buy lilies. Note that the water can't be full, and the height of the water is about 3cm higher than the water absorption point.

2. Lily pruning

When you put lilies in a bottle, you should pay attention to pruning them. If lily wants to keep fresh for a long time, it should be pruned in time to avoid rot.

Generally, flowers need to be pruned every day. When pruning, you don't need to cut too much, just cut off the length of the lower end of the branch 1cm, so that the water absorption point can be kept updated, the lily can absorb fresh water every day, and it can also avoid rotting in a short time.

3. Pay attention to changing water in lily vases.

When maintaining lily vases, attention should be paid to changing water frequently to ensure the quality of fresh water. However, there is no need to change water every day. Change the water once every two days in summer and once a week in winter. Just change the water once every three days in spring and autumn.

When changing water for lily, in order to make it grow better, we can add some materials to it, that is, add a few drops of nutrient solution to the water to supplement the nutrients needed by the flowers.

Sometimes, in order to make flowers grow better, we need to spray water on them and keep the air humidity high, so that they will look brighter.

The method of long-term storage of gladiolus in bottles;

1: Cut a long gladiolus into several flowers with scissors, including the terminal bud. The terminal bud of gladiolus will hardly open. We can peel off the green part outside the flower to reveal the red inside.

2. The terminal bud of gladiolus will hardly open. We peeled off the green part outside the flower to reveal the red inside.

3: Then put the flowers in a small bowl with green leaves and small flowers, and it will be fine! Can be placed on the dining table, porch cabinets, bathrooms and other places.

Gladiolus, alias: ten brocade, gladiolus, cymbidium, water chestnut lotus, Latin scientific name: Vaniot Houtt, a perennial herb of iris and gladiolus. Bulbs are oblate and spherical. The original species is from the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, which is made by many interspecific hybridization. Cultivated varieties are widely distributed all over the world. The flower stems are higher than the leaves, and the corolla tube is expanded funnel-shaped, and the colors are red, yellow, purple, white and blue. It is widely planted all over the world.

The main producing countries are the United States, the Netherlands, Israel and Japan. Gladiolus is an important fresh cut flower, which can be used as flower baskets, bouquets, bottle inserts and so on. You can arrange flower borders and special flower beds. Dwarf varieties can be potted for viewing. It is called "the world's four largest cut flowers" together with cut roses, carnations and hibiscus flowers. Varieties are blue gladiolus, Gande gladiolus and so on. Vitamin c can be extracted from other stems and leaves.

Morphological characteristics:

Perennial herbs. Bulb oblate, 2.5-4.5 cm in diameter, covered with brown or yellowish brown film. Leaves are basal or alternate at the base of the flower stem, sword-shaped, 40-60 cm long and 2-4 cm wide, sheathlike at the base, tapering at the top, embedded in 2 rows, grayish green, with several longitudinal veins, 1 obviously protruding midvein.

Growing habits:

Gladiolus is a warm-loving plant, but too high temperature is not good for growth and cold tolerance. The suitable temperature for growth is 20℃~25℃, and bulbs can germinate in soil above 5℃. It is a typical plant with long sunshine. Long sunshine time is beneficial to flower bud differentiation, and insufficient sunshine will reduce the number of flowers. However, after flower bud differentiation, short sunshine is beneficial to flower bud formation and early flowering. The bulbs of summer flower seeds must be stored indoors for the winter, and the room temperature should not be lower than 0℃.

Main varieties:

Parent stock:

Melancholy gladiolus, also known as round leaf gladiolus, has a medium-sized bulb, a plant height of 45cm, slightly cylindrical leaves, sparse inflorescences, 3-4 flowers and 2 flowers, which are open to one side, with yellow-white flowers and purple or brown brush-like fine lines and spots.
