Be inspired and bring spring into your own four walls!
Decoration with cut flowers – proper care begins after the first cut
A decoration with cut flowers gives any room character - but to ensure that the arrangement lasts for a long time, proper care plays a crucial role, especially after purchase. The delicate flowers can last up to half an hour without water, then the stem water vessels close, the flower has difficulty absorbing liquid and withers within 1-2 days. That's why florists deliver bouquets of flowers with so-called bloomy bags, which supply plants with water and nutrients. Optionally, you can wrap the end of the stem with a wet cloth and transport the arrangement from the shop home yourself.
At home you then have to cut the vase flowers again, place them in lukewarm water and add a bag of flower food. An important prerequisite for long durability is a clean vase - you should clean it thoroughly before each use.
Cut flowers need fresh air and open space and cannot tolerate direct sunlight and heat well. The side table in the living room or the chest of drawers in the bedroom offer the perfect surface for decorating with cut flowers.
Skillfully staged
Arrangements made of several bottle vases placed next to each other are modern and playful at the same time - buy vases of different heights to create exciting contrasts. Combine yellow roses with red bearded carnations, sea lavender (Limonium) and orange milkweed (Asclepia) in a charming ensemble.
Cut flowers can also be stylishly presented as soloists in a medium-sized classic glass vase - pink carnations or white roses look good in the vintage bedroom. The color mix between pink anemones, purple hyacinths and white carnations looks particularly romantic.
Voluminous bouquets of flowers come into their own better in spherical vases - pink roses, red gerberas, lady's mantle and pink alstroemerias automatically attract attention. You can get these wonderful flower combinations from reputable suppliers likeFloraPrimafind.
Soloistsas accents
Tulips, the absolute classics for the spring season, look particularly elegant in a tall and wide ceramic vase and their bright colors create a cheerful atmosphere at the dining table. Blue hydrangeas are also absolute eye-catchers and can spice up the puristic interior.
White lilies in a floor vase can welcome guests in the hallway or bring a touch of exoticism into the living area. Forget-me-nots, wax flowers, bluebells, goldenrod (Solidago) and sea lavender have small, delicate flowers that are perfect as table decorations - for example, you can arrange the cut flowers together with ornamental grasses on a cake stand.
This way you can keep the decoration with cut flowers fresher for longer
To ensure that the cut flower decoration lasts a long time, daily care is an absolute must - cut the stems every day, change the water every evening and remove any leaves that are in the water. You can dissolve freshness agents in water twice a week. If you want to preserve the beauty of the flowers for a longer period of time, you can then dry the flowers. Dried flowers are very decorative and can be imaginatively staged.
