Flower in Vase techniques

Home remedies for the flowers

Grandma would always advise. With their remedies, she offered solutions to many problems. but are they really work? A check of the ideas for flower vases. What helps really against hanging heads and wilted leaves?

Copper coin in the water: This idea probably dates on the assumption that the heavy metal, copper combines with proteins and can inhibit the development of microorganism. A copper coating has the one-, two-, five-cent pieces. But only a few coppers go into the water, the effects are therefore small.

Citric acid: Citric acid in the vase is to lower the pH-value and thus inhibit the development of micro-organisms. Is this the case? The pH-value is falling, but the effect here is low.

Household Cleaners: It has not positive effects in the vase water. The highly concentrated active ingredients can burn the leaves. Just as little help charcoal, lime, aspirin, vinegar and the ethereal oil of camphor tree in the water.

Boil the stems: this is often advised, for example at the sunflower. The end of the stalks comes briefly in boiling water. Woody stems at an angle can cut and for a maximum of three seconds are immersed in boiling water. The protein coagulates and the hot water load raised air bubbles from the air and protein stems prevents water uptake. After that handles directly in a vase with clean water before it can pull back the air.

To immerse the stems in hot water, advises the experts even with daffodils, They leave other cut flowers poisonous mucus out. Through the short dive, later it can avoid more juice comes out. The flowers are also better for a day alone in a vase.

Hammer: get the branches in a vase, advises Grandma to the hammer method: the stalk end soft knock. so it takes better water. But The florists discourages.The hammer hurt the stalk and at the point damaged penetrate bacteria into the wood.

But what really helps? Fresh tap water and also a clean vase. The flowers are then as cool, shady and if possible, even with the stems in the water transported home. The bottom leaves of the stem carefully pick off and at the end, at least, two or three centimeters are cut at an angle. Branches as well as handles that all thick and woody very deeply cut with a knife and then also split some stalk.

Sensible Biowaste Recycling

Almost our household waste consists of bio-waste. They are many catering wastes. The bio-waste can be collected separately and convert into compost so that you get an excellent, natural fertilizer for gardens.

If you have your own garden, you can have your own bio-waste composting. You need to tolerate partial shade. Fruit residues on the compost is a popular place for wasps in the summer. You should really think of the new location and to take account of the neighbors, preferably if you set up a compost be tank made of plastic or with air slit a construction made of slats or masonry, is a matter of taste preference.

There are some general rules will apply and to bear in mind:-

1) The compost must have contact with the soil, so that micro-organisms and little creatures have access to compost because without it, the composting does not take place.

2) Water must be able to flow freely, so that no storage water wet can form and thus rot.  

3) It may only appropriate waste on the compost heap vegetables and fruit waste, hedges and grass clippings order egg shells.

4) Meat and Fish waste must not in any case on the compost. This leads to massive odors and attracts vermin.

5) Wild seeds herbs should also not on the compost. The grains are often not destroyed by the composting process. If not than your compost spreading, simultaneously they sow wild herbs.
