THE VASE

The vase you choose to keep your flower in can have a huge role to play not just in display but also in the survival of the plant. Begin with a narrow mouthed, long vase for long stemmed flowers such as roses and orchids. A wide mouthed, short vase is perfect for succulents and other short flowers. Do not over stuff into a single vase. It might block out the light and air that your flower is in dire need of. Clean the vase before potting to remove any fungal or bacterial growth. Your flowers are delicate, more so after their stems have been slashed.

WATERING THE FLOWER

The most common mistake people make is that they overwater or under water the plant. Take into consideration the type of plant and the vase used before you decide how much water to add.  Most fresh cut flowers don’t require daily watering. Just keep them in a half filled vase and change the water every two days.

PLANT FOOD

If you are serious about plant care, then plant food must be bought. These packets contain all the nutrients a flower requires to survive without the support of its stem and roots. They are inexpensive and can simply be added to the mixture.

HOME REMEDIES

Mix 2 tablespoons of apple cider and vinegar and 2 more of sugar to create a mixture. If available, add 2 tablespoons of vodka as well. Add this mixture to the water in the vase. It’ll maintain the PH level and prevent any bacterial growth. Moreover, it doesn’t allow the flowers to ripen extending their lifetime.

REFRIGERATE

This has been found to be the single most effective trick to make flowers remain fresh for longer. Put them in fridge for 8 hours every night after you sleep. The cold temperature will help it thrive.

PRUNING AND CUTTING

Some flowers have protective petals such as roses. Remove the outer layer to allow the flower to bloom fully. Cut the stem by at least 2 inches and at an angle. This allows for more water absorption by the stem.

Follow these tips to ensure that your flower outlives your expectations. Happy flowering!

HOW TO SURPRISE HER AT THE OFFICE ON VALENTINE’S

Valentine’s Day is approaching and you two can’t get off your desks. You curse your luck and question fate why you are piled with so much work? You guys want to spend the day and night together but the rising heap of files on your tables say otherwise. But fret not. All is not lost yet. What if you could use this valentine’s to surprise her at her office and shoot two birds with a single stone? Not only will you make her super happy you’ll also come off as the world’s best boyfriend in front of her friends. So don’t hold back from expressing your emotions at her office this Valentine’s. Here are a few ways you can use to make her swoon with love and pride.

SEND HER FLOWERS

Send flowers to her office using our flower delivery in Jaipur service. And we are not talking about a bare, single stem of rose with just one bloom. It is time to go big or go home. If you were thinking about a dozen, then multiply it by 3 (3 dozen roses we mean) and send her a whole lavish bouquet. You can find the prettiest bouquets in our premium flowers section. Get a little creative and get those roses arranged in a heart shape or even the form of a towering turret. Or simply forego the roses and order a triple combo of carnations, orchids, and lilies. The vibrant colors and aromatic fragrances will light up her mood for days to come. Our online flower delivery in Ajmer ensures that she receives those flowers in mint condition.

TALK TO HER COWORKERS

Sending flowers is too cliché for you? Why not take it a step ahead. Coordinate with her coworkers to arrange for a camera that can click instant pictures. Ask them to stand around her office when the delivery boy arrives. As soon as she opens her gift and is ready to swoon, the coworkers can quickly take a snapshot of her gap-toothed smile. Paste this picture on the fridge with a magnet or use the digital copy to get personalized mugs and cushions. Isn’t this the perfect double blast for your busy valentine? 

ORDER DESSERT

A Valentine’s Day date is supposed to be the most romantic date of the year for both parties. But if work is going to play spoilsport then why not take the date to her office itself? While sharing a decent meal seems out of question, you too can at least share some dessert. Order her favorite dessert and send it over to her office. Eat it together while video calling over Skype. This is the closest you can possibly come to an actual date.

SURPRISE HER

The tedious day is finally coming to an end and you can head back home. Wait! Why not meet her below her office with a chauffeur driven limo in the offing? She’ll love the comfort of the ride and you two can spend more time together before the gorgeous dinner date.

If you’re feeling a bit blue and are ready to order a new bunch, use our fresh online flower delivery in Jaipur for the best picks.

CUT THE STEM

This is the most common mistake made by flower aficionados, especially novices. They vase their blooms without shortening the stem. Use garden shears to trim the bottom 2 inches. Don’t forget to cut at an angle to ensure maximum water intake. Shear the stem once every 2 weeks or so.

PRUNE THE FLOWERS

Once you’ve cut the stem and are ready to vase the flower, remove all the leaves below the water level. Submerged leaves will lead to bacterial growth and rot. Secondly, remove the guard petals surrounding the blossom. This will allow the flower to open up fully without any obstruction. Check often for sign of dead petals or leaves and remove them every time.

WATERING THE FLOWERS

This is the most basic step that many of us forego. After the cutting and pruning, your flower won’t last long without water. So clean a vase and fill it with water. Add in a packet of plant food if needed. The water shouldn’t be too cloudy since it will hurt the plant. Put your flowers in and replenish the water and food every 2 days.

WHERE TO KEEP IT

The flowers shouldn’t be displayed anywhere near direct sunlight or into the wind. Keep them away from appliances that generate heat such as heaters and refrigerators. Keep all nearby windows closed but do not put on curtains. The plants must be shaded at times but also should not languish in darkness. Lastly, keep them far away from fresh fruits. Ripening fruits release tiny amounts of ethylene gas which can cause your flowers to wilt before time.

REFRIGERATE EVERY NIGHT

This is an underrated tip only the most experienced gardeners know. The cool temperatures of your fridge allow the flowers to thrive for longer. Keep it in your fridge every night before you sleep for 8 hours. Take it out every morning to display in a shady, airy spot. Follow this advice to get plants that survive beyond 2 weeks.

You can also add a little soda along with apple cider and vinegar to the water to help it remain fresh.
