Thank you for sharing so much information. Knowing when to cut flowers and how to condition them is the real magic in bouquet making. There is so much to learn and you really know how to make it all look easy and very logical. Beautiful results too! A real treat for the eyes. I can’t wait to get back out in my garden. ❤

Do you know if you warm ranunculus if they will force open? I am going to experiment with a few but mine are just a bit early (marshmallow)

@floristsonfarms

3 ай бұрын

To an extent, for sure, you could try! Just keep in mind that ranunculus go dormant when it gets too warm. Just from a quick Google search: the optimal temperatures for ranunculus are 1.5-10C (35-50F) at night and 15-24C (60-75F) in the day.

Ooh gotcha, I wasn’t sure, thought maybe you were thinking to do what I did with the lilac in my hoophouse 😄. If they are already cut, yes I would basically put them somewhere warm to open and once they are at the stage you want for the bouquets put them back into cold storage to hold them at that stage. So I would do that at least a few days before you need them so they have time to open :)

I would love to do that! I didn’t grow enough tulips for that to be possible this year, but I’ll look at doing that one for the next growing season!

Thank you for such an incredibly thorough and informative video! You definitely have a knack for teaching and are very knowledgeable! I'm curious about the daffodils in the bouquet when you make the final cut -- I imagine they leak the sap again... is that not as worrisome since they've already leaked out a bit during the conditioning phase? Also, is the problem with the sap because they make the water "dirty" or do they impact the other flowers, or something else?

@floristsonfarms

3 ай бұрын

Yes such a great question, Amanda. If you watch my video on daffodils I get into detail on this there; and in that video I mention that to be absolutely safe, you can try to cut and condition your daffs at their final length so that you don’t need up retrimming. In this bouquet, I’m avoiding recutting the daffs as best I can. That being said, there are many sources that suggest that the second or subsequent cuts after conditioning don’t cause the slime/sap to start flowing again. So while I do avoid it as much as I can to be safe, I am less concerned about it once they’ve had their initial conditioning. Additionally, some of the flower food products out there are formulated to deal with the slime which eliminates the need for concern, and in this case, I was Quick Dipping the entire bouquet immediately after cutting it and then holding it in flower food. To answer your last question, alkaloids in the slime are harmful to tulips and roses; beyond that, yes, it’s the slime itself they clogs the stems of other flowers preventing them from staying hydrating.

I think when we are dealing with SO many different flowers, it gets more complex! But it doesn’t have to be this way, mastering a few easy going and productive crops is very rewarding!

Is there a special treatment one can do at this point (when you level off the stems) so the freshly cut daffodils don't shorten the life of that gorgeous bouquet?

@floristsonfarms

Hi, great question and I didn’t go into detail in this video because I talk a lot about this in my daffodil video. There is contradictory information out there about whether subsequent cuts after the initial conditioning is going to rerelease the sap. I am of the mind that it doesn’t tend to; but I think that is up to everyone to decide for themselves. To err on the side of caution with my bouquets, I avoid retrimming those stems as much as possible, so conditioning them at their final height is ideal for me. I know it doesn’t show well in this bouquet, but the longer daffs tend to be floating up higher in the bouquet. Secondly, there are products that solve this problem for us like CVBN tablets and specially formulated flower food. I don’t get into this much in my daffodil video other than a vague mention; but for simplicity or assurance, you may want to go that route. I apologize for not mentioning those final steps in this video, it completely slipped my mind! I keep all of my ready-to-go bouquets in flower food in cold storage and they also leave here with a packet of flower food. 🙂

I have a question about Leucojum: how do you keep the base of the stems from splitting and curling up? I find after conditioning that the base of the stems have curled up so much to look like inverted ionic columns.

@floristsonfarms

3 ай бұрын

I find this happens sometimes with all types of bulbs and I don’t actually know the mystery of why this happens! I’ve never been able to get to the bottom of it.

You trimmed all the stems at the end including daffodils? How does that work with the sap? I've been struggling with this because I want to trim them but instead just keep them whatever height they're at already!

I didn’t know it about CVBN either until I spotted it on the manufacturer’s product description! The flower food that I know is formulated to neutralize slime is Chrysal Clear Narcissus. Regarding the second cut, I have found scholarly sources saying both answers to that so that is not super helpful haha. Of my own, when I’ve tested it, there is a slight amount of sap there on the end of the stem; but not a lot, so I do wonder how detrimental it would be. Thanks for your encouragement! I do not plan to stop making videos, i have really been enjoying the way this platform makes it easy for me to share, and hopefully my video quality will continue to improve as I keep going! 😝 I’m so glad I’ve been able to help you, that makes me so happy!

Is crysal solution 2 a alternative to quick dip ? If not I have to get quick dip

@floristsonfarms

3 ай бұрын

Chrysal Pro 2 is a hydrating and holding solution so it has a bit of a different purpose (a good one to use for all of your flowers after harvesting and before you sell them). I think the equivalent to Floralife QuickDip would be Chrysal EasyDip - I have never tried that one :)
