"Sunflower" Care Tips
Here are some tips for caring for cut sunflowers so you can enjoy them longer. Use these tips to bring out the maximum beauty of your sunflowers.
Appropriate water level for cut sunflowers
After cutting the stems, it's best to place them in shallow water. Too much water can cause the stems to rot easily. About 3-5 cm of water from the bottom of the vase is sufficient for shallow water.
About where to display them in summer
It is recommended to place them where humans feel comfortable. Direct sunlight is too hot, and direct air conditioning is too cold, just like humans, flowers also feel the same.
