Even when choosing when to cut, you can influence the later shelf life in the vase. The best time to cut is early morning on a dry day. Pick a flower that has just started opening. Flowers that are already fully open will not last long in the vase. Cut the stem of the sunflower to the desired height. However, only use clean, sharp tools for the cut. Then remove the lower sheets. The vase with the freshly cut flower is best placed in a place that is protected from drafts and blazing sun.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/34ba104f1a4103e99a6558a90f44fe73.jpg\" alt=\"Sunflowers in the vase: cut off &amp; put in hot water\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cut_sunflowers_properly\"><\/span><strong>Cut sunflowers properly<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With a bit of skill in the cut, you can enjoy the sun children a little longer in the vase. Because a skillful cut not only improves the water and nutrient absorption but also reduces the risk of rot. Use sharp scissors to cut the stem at an angle and about two centimeters. In this way, the cut surface is enlarged and water and oxygen can be better absorbed. For maximum durability in the vase, the vertical incision is then repeated every two days.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\" \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/a484027e2c4cf8616df02f1b67c9a08b.jpg\" alt=\"Sunflowers in the vase: cut off &amp; put in hot water\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Put_sunflowers_in_hot_water\"><\/span><strong>Put sunflowers in hot water<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One often hears that the stems should be briefly immersed in hot water before they serve their decorative purpose in the vase. This is to prevent the development of rot by desolating the cut surface and thus closing it off. However, opinions differ on this tip. Researchers from Geisenheim have even found that the hot bath shortens the shelf life of the flowers. We encourage you to try both and form your own judgment. It is important, however, that the stems are really only held in the hot water for a few seconds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sunflowers_in_the_vase_change_the_water\"><\/span><strong>Sunflowers in the vase: change the water<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Change the water in the vase every day. This means that there are no unpleasant smells even without fresh flowers.
