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.

THE RED COLOR

Just like gold today is associated with royalty, red in earlier times was a symbol of royal power. Red cloaks, crowns, and clothes made up much of the attire of British kings and queens. The deep red tint of the red velvet cake invokes similar thoughts. Not limited to hierarchical circles anymore, the red velvet has enabled many people to enjoy a piece of royalty. The cake also adds beauty to the dish. It’s a treat for the eyes as well as the tongues.

MILD CHOCOLATE FLAVOR

Who doesn’t love chocolate? In fact there used to be times when chocolate haters were viewed with scrutiny. But if the extra sugar in chocolate puts you off, the mild flavor of the red velvet will suit you best. The perfect flavor is achieved by mixing buttermilk and barely 2 spoons of cocoa powder. Surely, not too much, not too less.

TANGY TWIST

A single bite of a red velvet cake can lead to a burst of flavors inside our mouths. The tangy part complements the mild chocolate flavor perfectly. But what makes it tangy? It is the slow reaction between buttermilk and vinegar that imparts this unique touch to the cake.

CHEESE CREAM FROSTING
