Details
So that the lilac does not wither in the first days when you put it in water, you need to know when and how to cut it. Never cut lilac branches at lunchtime, it is better to do it in the morning. Do not break branches. Cut them with a knife or garden shears. Choose such branches so that half of the flowers have not yet bloomed. It is important to know that the larger the oblique cut on the branch, the longer it will stand in the water.
Before placing the lilac in the vase, cut off most of the leaves. Pour only settled water, or add a water softener. 1 g of salicylic acid and 100 tablespoons of sugar can be added to 2 liter of water. You can also add a few drops of lemon juice or a few grains of potassium permanganate to the water to make the water pink. At night, take the bouquet to a cool place.
