How do I cut flowers?
- Ask us for a demonstration! We are happy to share our flower cutting magic with you!
- Remove the leaves
- In order to keep your freshly cut flowers & foliage happy it is best to remove half the leaves on the stem. This reduces evaporation from the flower and keeps the water clean for the flowers to drink up the water.
- Only use scissors to cut flowers or foliage.
- DAHLIA: Dahlias do not bloom much after they are cut, so you want to choose a well-flowered flower with a nice shape and therefore no buds.
- DAHLIA: When harvesting dahlias, you want a nice and long stem, but without cutting off too much of the plant. You should cut just above a pair of leaves as close as possible to the growth point where the stems meet, often there are three stems next to each other. Choose a flower that looks bruised but has not started to wilt or wilt in the petals on the back of the flower.
