花店：鲜花传递中的守护者与挑战者

在鲜花从田间到消费者手中的一场美丽传递之旅中，花店扮演着至关重要的角色。然而，这个环节常被忽略，其实这里面隐藏着多种对鲜花造成伤害的恶习。让我们一起揭开这些秘密，看看如何才能更好地保护我们的鲜花。

恶习之一：包装不当

外包装既是保护又可能成为病害温床。一方面，它在运输过程中提供了保障；另一方面，如果不及时去除，湿度升高，便成灰霉病滋生的温床。有些店铺简单堆放或直接放在货架上，这对于鲜花无疑是一种摧残。

正确做法：立即褪去外包装，增加空气流动性，让新鲜空气接触到茎杆和叶片。

恶习之二：茎杆修剪不当

刚到的花材口渴且充满气泡和细菌，一旦插入水中或修剪长度不足，不仅阻碍水分正常运输，还可能导致垂头枯萎。一些店铺不注重脚叶去除，或干脆剔光叶片，都会加速枯萎过程。

正确做法：确保茎杆基部清洁干燥，并进行适当的修剪，以防止细菌侵入并促进水分流通。

恶习之三: 脚叶处理不当

许多店铺忽视或只轻微去除脚叶，使其浸泡在水中腐烂。此一此再，加速容器内细菌滋生，最终影响品相和货架期。而过度剔光也同样有害，因为它缩短了植物的生命周期。

正确做法：定期检查并及时清理腐烂部分，同时保持环境卫生，消毒操作台、物品等，以避免细菌扩散。

恶习之四: 环境通风差

室内湿度高容易滋生灰霉病，有些小点点很快变成整枝烂头。在这种环境下，即便是新来的也难逃厄运。这也是为什么很多人发现收到的玫瑰很快就变质了，但实际上它们已经受到严重损害的情况发生。

正确做法：保持良好的通风状况，以减少室内湿度和病虫害风险，并定期换洗水以预防污染累积，从而延长瓶插期和维持产品质量。

evil habit 5: Overwatering and inadequate water change

Deep water can lead to root rot, which is a common problem in flower shops. This happens when the stems are submerged in too much water for too long, causing the roots to rot. The flowers may appear healthy at first but will soon begin to wilt and drop their petals.

Correct practice: Use shallow water and change it frequently. For example, roses should have about 20 cm of water in the vase, while lilies should have around 15 cm.

Evil habit 6: Inadequate disinfection or disinfection power

Flowers often become rotten in flower shops due to poor hygiene practices. These rotten flowers can spread bacteria through air, water, vases etc., leading to a rapid spread of disease among other flowers.

Correct practice: Regularly clean up rotten flowers and sanitize all surfaces with appropriate disinfectants.

Evil habit 7 : Excessive watering at the base of the stem

Some florists believe that frequent watering keeps their flowers fresh; however this method is actually detrimental during periods when fungi infections are most prevalent. Additionally, excessive watering shortens the life span of cut stems by promoting bacterial growth within them.

Correct practice: Water only as necessary - check if your flowers need more by gently inserting a finger into their necks (where they meet the stem). If they feel dry or slightly damp (but not soaked), you know it's time for another drink!

Evil Habit #8 : Direct sunlight exposure & cold wind blowing on plants.

Placing cut flowers near windows where direct sunlight hits them may cause them to fade quickly or develop spots from heat damage. Similarly blowing cold air directly onto blossoms will make them droop faster than usual because they lose moisture rapidly under such conditions.

Proper Care:

Keep Flowers away from direct sunlight.

Maintain room temperature between 18-22°C (65-72°F) ideally.

Provide good air circulation around your arrangements so that no stagnant hotspots form.

By addressing these evil habits and adopting proper care techniques, we can ensure our precious blooms stay fresh longer and enjoyably brighten up spaces for everyone!
