Everyone likes flowers, I in particular fascinated me daisies and flowers decorate the house gives a special tone and perfumes the atmosphere.

But decorating with flowers is never easy, not by the choice of vases or flower type, that is in everyone’s taste, the issue is that the flowers usually last very little, especially if we are in times of high temperature, in a couple of days, the flowers start to wilt.

Therefore, for the flowers last longer we have to put in the bottom of the vase a potato (potato), if oddly enough if we put a potato will see how the life of our flowers is larger. Before doing so we have to click the stems of flowers to potatoes, then yes, put the water as we normally do.

But if this does not seem appropriate we can also set decorated with flowers, branches and leaves, but dry. How we started, the best time to cut flowers is in the morning, and we must have the proper tools, i.e. pruning shears.

For this to work well as cut flowers is diagonal, not straight. At the branches and leaves are cut as low as possible and clean up the last part of the stem so that leaves do not fit.

What follows is to build the business so it dries well and it lasts for a while, what we have to do is tie in the bottom of the stem and hang upside down, but not in any place, is it appropriate dry and dark, and leave for a period of two months. When two months have passed the field will be well dry before placing in the vase with lacquer or spray it thick starchy rice water and dry it gently with your hair or we can leave it in the sun.

Two very different methods but both very easy and effective to have fresh flowers in the house, one extends the life of the flowers to wilt quickly avoiding the other allows us to create our own bouquet of dried flowers.
