15 Tips To Keep Cut Flowers Fresh Longer
By Shabnam Ahsan
Fresh flowers can freshen up any dull room, & make your day as they express someone’s emotions for you. But the life of fresh flowers is generally short & they are easily perishable. Here are some tips to keep them fresh longer.
1…When you buy flowers try to buy most of them still in bud. They will have longer vase life & you will get the pleasure of watching them slowly open up.
2…Crush and split the bottom of the woody steamed flowers like Rose to take up water easily.
3…. Always cut rose’s stem holding it & sharp scissor under water like water filled sink or a big vessel to prevent getting an air bubble in the stem which can cause the rose heads to drop.
4…To lengthen the life of flowers snap their stems on a slant with a sharp knife to expose more stem surface & wash away the sticky white secretion.
5… Cut the stems another inch or so whenever you change the water. In this way by the end of the week, you will have shorter but still alive bouquet
6… If you want to extend the life of your flower arrangement than put it in the coldest room of your house before going to sleep.
7...To keep the Tulip straight push small pins just below the flower heads & wrap the bunch in wet newspaper and leave them in two to three inches of water for about one and half hours.
8…Before putting the flowers in vase, remove all the leaves that will fall below the water level to prevent them rot & create bacteria resulting in shorting of life of the flowers.
9....Nearly all commercial floral preservatives contains 3 main ingredients, (1) biocide which is a chemical that kills bacteria, fungi & yeasts, (2) acidifier (3) sugar
Instead of using commercial floral preservatives, add 1 tablespoon sugar ½ teaspoon bleach & 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to 1 quart water to keep our flowers fresh & healthy for a longer time.
10….Best time to cut the flowers is early in the morning or late in the afternoon when it has cooled.
11….Always use container in proportion of the flowers as too many flowers in very small container will look overcrowded & won’t get enough water to live longer & enough room to breath.
12….Never put Daffodils & Tulips together as Daffodils sap is toxic to tulips.
13….Always put flowers away from fruits as fruits give off ethylene gas which makes flowers deteriorate more quickly.
14….Some flowers are more perishable than others…when they began to perish pull them out & continue to enjoy the flowers still looking good.
15…To create a humid atmosphere around the flowers, lightly spray with clean water from time to time.
7 Tips For Perfect Candle Burning
By shabnam Ahsan
Burning candles is fun. We can light a candle at any time, any place or any occasion. Be it a candle light dinner, a relaxing evening or even in bathroom we can light candles in different colors & shapes & in beautiful holders.
Here is some tips to prolong the fun experience of lightening candles
1…It’s a good idea to keep candles in fridge as cold candles burns slowly or you can put it in fridge an hour prior to light it but to prevent wicks from absorbing moisture wrap them in foil or cling-film first.
2…To avoid the bending or fading the color of the candles never expose them to sunlight or internal spotlight
3… Wrap cooking foil or tissue paper around the bottom of the candle to make the base thicker if it’s too slim to fit perfectly in the holder. The melted wax will soak the tissue & prevent it from burning
4…To ensure that the pillar candle burns evenly each time you light it allow it to burn long enough each time to create a pool of wax that almost covers the diameter of the candle otherwise it will make a tunnel through the candle or melt through one side.
5…To extinguish candle push its wick in the liquid wax. The wax will cover the wick making it easier to light again.
6…Avoid standing a lit candle in draught as it will create uneven burning with larger flame.
7…Try to buy votive candles in metal cases as it’ll be easier to remove them from holder after use
