Peonies - the king of flowers
In late April to early July, the flower shops are full of peonies. Here are four tips that will make your peonies last longer.
With the large, beautiful blossoms and wonderful scent, they become a beautiful feature in your home. So take the opportunity to buy some for your house so you can watch them go from bud to magnificent flower. As with all other cut flowers, it feels good to give them a little extra love. Care tips for peonies:
Cut your peonies
Cut your peonies: It is not enough that the florist has already trimmed the stem. The paper with water - in which the flower has been transported - settles in the pores of the cut. So make it a habit to always trim the stem when you get home. Trim every two to three days to continue to keep the cut clean.
Water your peonies
Lukewarm water: Since the peony is a herb, it thrives best in lukewarm water. Don't forget to clear the water of leaves that lie and form bacteria and algae. Feel free to change the water every other day so that it is clean.
Spray with water: Is your peony not blooming? Try spraying and bathing it with cold water. Occasionally, the sticky surface on top can prevent the flower from blooming.
Avoid sunlight: Do you want to enjoy the flower for an extra long time? Place it in a shady place so that you postpone the flowering.
