methods of wiring flowers
27
Hook
methods of wiring flowers Used when wiring flowers with small bases such as daisies
28
Hair pin
methods of wiring flowers
29
Piercing
methods of wiring flowers Used in constructing corsages with carnations
30
Picks
wooden, steel, water
31
The larger the ribbon number
the wider the ribbon
32
Most common numbers used my florist for ribbon
3, 9, and 40
33
Most popular material for ribbon
Satin
34
What is floral tape made out of
wax coated paper
35
Absorption
Method of dying flowers Can be sped up by using warm water (100-110 degrees F) and by cutting the stems under water
36
Dip and rinse
Method of dying flowers
37
Aerosol sprays
Method of dying flowers
38
Nonaerosol sprays
Method of dying flowers
39
Xylem Vessels
Tiny tubes through which water moves up stems to flowers and leaves
40
Transpiration
Water loss in the form of vapor from flowers and leaves
41
Respiartion
The utilization of sugars from photosynthesis to provide energy for flowering opening and plant growth
42
Ethylene
Odorless gas produced by aging flowers and other plant parts that cause the deterioration of some flowers. Other sources of ethylene include ripening fruit, cigarette smoke, and auto emissions
43
Chilling Injury
Cold temperatures that cause darkening of flower parts
44
Freeze Injury
Cold temperatures that destroy cells in flowers causing them to collapse
45
Plant Processes to Maximize
Water absorption which is accomplished using warm water (100-110 degrees F) and cutting the stems under water
46
Plant processes to Minimize
Transpiration, respiration, ethylene formation These plant processes can be minimized by using cold temperatures. High humidities will also reduce transpiration.
47
What causes blockage of water uptake through the xylem vessels
Bacteria and other microbes growing in the cut ends of the stems
48
True or false- Cold water is better for flowers
False-warm water (100-110) moves up through flower stems faster than cold water
49
Plant processes that need to be slowed in order to extend vase life
Transpiration, Respiration, and Ethylene Formation
50
Slow Transpiration
By refrigeration and high humidity
51
Slow Respiration
slowed by refrigeration
52
Ethylene formation
slowed by refrigeration
53
What temperature should Gladiolus and topicals not be stored below to prevent a chilling injury?
40 degrees F
54
How to maximize water uptake?
Use warm water and cut the stems under water
55
Floral preservatives contain
Sugar, a bactericide, and an acidifier
56
True or False? We want floral preservatives to be basic or alkaline.
False- we want floral preservatives to be acidic
57
Why do we want floral preservatives to be acidic?
Because it causes the water to become acidic which suppresses bacterial development
58
How much longer is the vase life when using floral preservatives
It can be nearly double when compared to water
59
Dry Foams
used with silk, dry, and artificial flowers
60
Floral foams
Oasis, secure, flowerbricks jiffy, nova
