Knife, Paper, Scissors
Posted on June 26th, 2010 No commentsDid you know the best way to trim a very tender stem (for example geranium cuttings) is a razor blade? When using scissors or a knife you may squeeze the stem and damage the very tender tissue.
If you must use scissors, use a very sharp pair.
Picking flowers for a bouquet.
When cutting flowers for a bouquet, cut the flower and put it immediately into water. Then put the flowers into a big bowl of water, trimming the bottoms of the stems again under water. You should leave the flowers in this bowl for 20 to 30 minutes. This takes a little extra time, but the flowers last so much longer. REALLY !!!!!!Leave a reply
