Wendy on Instagram: "If you find that your cut hydrangeas are finicky and wilt really quickly, you’re probably not watering them properly. They are thirsty flowers and if you want them to last longer, follow these tips and hacks! Did you know that they absorb a ton of water through their petals as well? So if you find them drooping, submerge their entire flower head and leaves under cool water and watch them revive. You’ll also want to prep the stems by either smashing the ends or cutting a split up the stem so they can drink more water. You can condition the flower by dipping the stem into hot water, this will remove sap that might be blocking the stem from absorbing water. Or you can dip the stem in alum powder to prevent wilting. Last, you can spritz your flower petals regularly
Samantha Hermann on Instagram: "Here’s how ⬇️ 1. Choose a Suitable Orchid: Not all orchid species are well-suited for water culture. Some orchids, such as Phalaenopsis and Vanda, tend to thrive in water culture, while others may not adapt as easily. 2. Inspect the roots for any signs of damage or rot, and trim them as needed with sterile scissors or pruning shears. 3. Select a container that is just large enough to accommodate the orchid’s root system and has a wide opening for airflow. I prefer clear so you can monitor the water level. 4. Place the orchid in the prepared water culture container, making sure the ends of the roots dangle into the water with plenty of the root system out of the water. Only add about an inch of water — you want it to evaporate in a week or so, then add an
Kellyn on Instagram: "Share with a friend who could use this tip! ✨ I know I know, I should be changing my prop water every week BUT I HAVE SO MANY PROPS! This is how hydrogen peroxide has saved me time after time. 😅 Not only does 3% hydrogen peroxide keep algae away, it also helps with.. 🌱 Root Oxygenation: Helps aerate the soil and provide oxygen to the roots, promoting healthy root growth. 🌱 Pest Control: Effectively kills soil pests like fungus gnats and their larvae. 🌱 Disease Prevention: Prevents and treats root rot and fungal infections by killing harmful bacteria 🌱 Improved Water Absorption: Enhances water absorption by breaking down organic matter in the soil. I really can’t give you guys an exact ratio. I never measure. If I had to guess I would say I use 15-20 drops p
Noocx® - Smart Gadgets on Instagram: "How to Care for Hydrangeas in Hot Weather ☀️ Hydrangeas need extra love when temperatures rise! Here are two key tips to keep them looking fresh and full: 💧 Hydration is key: Hydrangeas don’t just drink through their stems—they absorb water through their petals too! Keeping them well-watered ensures they stay perky and vibrant for longer. 🌸 Reviving wilted hydrangeas: If your blooms start to droop, don’t worry! Give the stems a fresh cut, place them in hot (not boiling) water, and let them sit for about an hour. This trick helps rehydrate the flowers and bring them back to life. With the right care, your hydrangeas will stay beautiful all summer long! 🌿✨ #HydrangeaCare #FlowerTips #SummerFlowers #FloristTips #HydrangeaLove"
Dana Carpenter | Houseplant care on Instagram: "If you water propagate your houseplants, I’m sure you’ve experienced a cutting falling out of place and maybe even submerging entirely. A ✨simple solution✨ that’s also really fun to make is an air dry clay flower frog. I was inspired by @woodlark making these for her flowers, and I immediately wanted to make one for my plant propagations. It’s also another way to repurpose these little glass jars from my favorite yogurt. Do you love easy DIYs for your plants? Save this to try! How to make them: * Roll clay out * Cut out a circle and use water to help smooth out edges with your fingers * Create the scalloped edge—this part is optional * Poke the holes— I used a large straw * Let it dry + seal with a waterproof glaze/varnish * Add plant
Nick • Myformalcottagegarden on Instagram: "Want to start a cut flower garden? 🌻 Here are some of my favorites! •Zinnia- Zinnias are so easy to start from seeds! And they come in so many colors and variety’s! •Strawflower- This makes a great filler flower and has the longest fast life (if not forever) because the flower is basically naturally dried! •Lisianthus- Not one of the easiest to start from seed, I recommend finding a place that sells plugs, that are ready to plant. Seems like a trouble to grow them, but I’m sure that they are so worth it! Another long vase life flower! •Verbena- Verbena bonariensis makes amazing filler flower! So easy to start from seeds, and 1 plant gets massive, giving you so much to cut all summer long! The more you cut, the more it grows! •Scabiosa- Sca
Chelsea Zutavern on Instagram: "Three tips to preserve your pumpkins! 1. Wash your pumpkins with dish soap and water. Give them a good scrub and get rid of all the dirt. The dirt will cause them to rot faster. 2. Spray them with a bleach solution. 1-2 tsp of bleach to one gallon of water ratio. This will prevent them from getting moldy. 3. Finally, to help prevent mold and to keep the moisture inside the pumpkin. Coat the outside with a thin layer of olive oil. Olive oil possesses natural antifungal properties that can inhibit the growth of harmful fungus and bacteria. ✨These steps will extend the life of your pumpkins! They can last up to three months!!👏🏼 . . #pumpkin #pumpkins #pumpkinpatch #pumpkintips #pumpkinseason #pumpkintime #fallhome #falldecor #tipsandtricks #mybhg #homemade
Jodie Kammerer • AMAZON HOME FINDS on Instagram: "Want your mums to last through the season? Follow these simple tips! 1. Soak your mums in a bucket of water when you get home for about 30 min-1 hour. Mums soak up water from their roots so this will ensure they are hydrated! 2. Check your mums regularly by picking them up. If they are light to the touch this means that they don’t have much water left in the pot. It’s time to soak again. 💦One year I was determined to keep my mums alive and I tried watering every single day! But watering from the top doesn’t really work because most of the water just runs straight through the pot (have you noticed?) not giving the roots time to soak up the water they need. Even my daily watering wasn’t enough to keep my mums alive. 😳 Soaking is the

Cherry on Instagram: "During the growing season, make sure you: - Feed your rose with rose feed. - Deadhead your rose as quickly as possible to encourage new growth. - Remove dead leaves and petals off the ground to prevent infection . - Water your roses regularly. I like to do this by a watering can as they get thirsty. - Tie climbing roses throughout the growing season and add supports to any roses that need them. This will prevent it getting damaged. - Compost and manure around the base of the rose will help it bloom. - Don’t be dissatisfied in the early years with a few flowers as it takes a couple of years to establish. Some roses only flower twice a year and some repeat, read what to expect from your rose. . This rose is a @david_austin_roses Gertrude Jekyll Climbing Rose. . #ro
Kreepa Gaihre on Instagram: "Chop and prop with me. ✂️ My intention is to encourage thicker growth and stronger trunk. 🌳 Whenever you make a cut on a stem of a jade plant, it will split into two new stems and branch out, resulting in a fuller and bushier plant over time.🌱 With repeated pruning, the plant will become even bushier and produce more stems. 🍀 By removing the lower leaves and planting them in soil, you can propagate the plant to create additional plants. 🪴 Within a few weeks, new growth will emerge, and within a few months, the plant will become much bushier. ☘️🍀💚 #jadeplants #jadeplantlove #jadeplantsofinstagram #jadeplantcare #jadeplantobsession #jadeplantlover #jadeplanthome #jadeplantsucculent #jadeplantcollection #jadeplantaddict #plants #plantsplantsplants
