Peony is the favorite flower of many women. To find a wonderful bouquet, your partner will have to try: the flowering period of peonies is short, and not all flower shops sell them. However, there is good news: the peony season has already begun in Minsk! Let's prepare for this time together: find out what colors peonies come in, how long they stay fresh and how to properly care for a bouquet.
There are many color options for peonies: white, pink, red, purple, yellow and orange. The color of peonies depends on various factors: variety, growing conditions and age. The color of flowers is affected by weather conditions and air temperature: in cool weather, flowers can be lighter, and in hot weather, darker. The color is also affected by the growing method: if the plant receives enough light and nutrients, the flowers will be brighter and more saturated. The age of the plant also affects the color: young plants may have less bright buds than adults.
Many are upset that these flowers please the eye for only a few days, after which they fade. However, with proper care, peonies in a vase can retain their beauty for up to 10 days.
Simple tips for caring for peonies in a vase
Choosing a vase for peonies
Peonies will retain their freshness and beauty longer if they stand in a deep and dark vase. It is important that the water is not exposed to direct sunlight. Peony stems should be three-quarters submerged in water. In addition, the vase should be large enough so that neighboring buds only slightly touch each other. After all, peonies need personal space to grow comfortably and preserve their beauty.
Remove leaves
It is necessary to remove the maximum number of leaves from the stems of peonies, since those that end up in water quickly rot, leading to premature withering of the flowers.
Remove faded buds
If the bud has lost its appearance, most likely it cannot be saved. It is better to cut such a bud so that it does not take resources from other flowers. Please note that peonies do not like drafts, bright sunlight, or the proximity of radiators and fruits. It is recommended to keep the bouquet away from the window.
Changing water
Peony water should be changed frequently, every day or every other day at most, using clean, cool water.
How to prune correctly
To make peonies last longer in a vase, you need to renew their stems. This should be done at an angle, under running water. This will increase the area of water absorption and prolong the life of the flowers.
