>>> BIRTHDAYS, ANNIVERSARIES,
COMING UP, VALENTINE'S DAY.
THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS AS
MEN GET THE WOMEN OUR LOVE
FLOWERS.
AND WHEN WE GET FLOWERS, WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY LAST AS
LONG AS POSSIBLE.
JOINING US TODAY DISCARDING
EXPERT GINNY ROSENKRANZ.
GINNY, HOW ARE YOU?
FINE, AND IT BROUGHT SOME
FRIENDS FOR YOU.
>> YOU DID DRINK SOME FRIENDS.
THIS WILL HELP ME HELP THE
AUDIENCE MAKE THE FLOWERS LAST
AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
>> RIGHT, WHEN YOU GIVE A
FLOWER, IT'S MORE THAN JUST
THIS IS SOMETHING PRETTY, IT'S
MORE OF AN EXPRESSION OF I
REALLY APPRECIATE WHATEVER
YOU'RE DOING FOR ME.
>> AND I'M CURIOUS THOUGH, THIS
TIME OF YEAR WHEN IT'S ALMOST
VALENTINE'S DAY, IS THERE LIKE
A MOST POPULAR FLOWER?
>> AT VALENTINE'S DAY, IT'S
USUALLY RED ROSES, BUT YOU
KNOW, THAT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE
THE CHOICE.
LIKE I LOVE CARNATIONS BECAUSE
THEY ARE SO FRAGRANT AND MORE
AFFORDABLE, TOO.
SO THERE ARE A WHOLE BUNCH OF
THINGS, TO GO AHEAD AND CHOOSE
FROM.
>> SO LET'S TALK MAKING THESE
FLOWERS LAST, WHAT ARE SOME
TIPS YOU HAVE FIRST?
>> OKAY.
THE FIRST THING IS WE START
WITH A BASIC CONTAINER, IT
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT KIND OF
CONTAINER IT IS.
LIKE FOR INSTANCE, 1/4, MAKE
SURE IT IS TOTALLY CLEAN.
I RUN MINE THROUGH THE
DISHWASHER, THAT I BLEACH THEM
AND RINSE THEM OUT REAL GOOD TO
GET RID OF ALL OF THE BACTERIA.
YOU START OFF WITH GETTING
CLEAN WATER, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO
BE FILTERED, BUT CLEAN WATER.
>> AND COLD.
>> HOW MUCH WATER YOU PUT IN
THE BASICALLY.
>> I USUALLY STARTED TWO
THIRDS, AND THEN THERE IS MORE
ROOM FOR FLOWERS.
AND WHENEVER YOU PLAY WITH
FLOWERS, LIKE I WILL PULL OUT
THIS ONE RIGHT HERE, YOU WANT
TO GO AHEAD AND REMOVE ALL OF
THE STEMS AND LEAVES.
>> THE LEASE AND THINGS?
>> YES, IF THEY ARE LEFT IN THE
WATER, THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING
TO ROT AND DIE, THEN THE
BACTERIA WILL FILL THAT UP AND
IT LOOKS REALLY GRUNGY.
>> AND IT DOESN'T LOOK AS
APPEALING, I'M SURE.
>> NO, IT DOESN'T.
>> NOW WHEN YOU GET THE
FLOWERS, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO
THEM, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE
SUPPOSED TO DO THEM, BUT THERE
IS A TIP THAT IS BETTER THAN
JUST CUTTING IT IN THE AIR?
>> WELL FIRST OF ALL, SINCE I
HAVE WATER I WILL ADD SOME
FLOUR FRESH.
WHAT IS NICE IS WHEN YOU ADD
THIS STUFF RIGHT HERE, IT IS
KIND OF TO BE IN THIS ONE, BUT
IT HAS FLOWERS STILL NEED TO
HAVE CARBOHYDRATES JUST AS WE
DO, AND IT ALSO HAS THEM IN
THAT IT KIND OF REDUCES THE
ALKALINITY OR THE ACIDITY.
>> A LOT OF FLOWERS AND
BOUQUETS COME WITH THESE
PACKETS?
>> AND THAT'S JUST WHAT YOU PUT
IN?
>> YES, AND THEY COME IN ALL
DIFFERENT COLORS AND THAT KIND
OF STUFF.
SO WHEN YOU DO IT ESPECIALLY
ROSES.
THEY NEEDED THE MOST.
LET ME GRAB A ROSE RIGHT HERE,
HOLD THIS ONE FOR ME.
HERE WE GO, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO
IS THIS ONE HAS ALREADY BEEN
THE LEAST, SO THAT IS GOOD.
YOU WANT TO CUT THE STEM
UNDERWATER.
>> WHY DO YOU DO THAT?
>> OKAY, IF I CUT IT UP IN THE
AIR LIKE THIS, THE FIRST THING
THAT GOES UP THE STEM IS AIR,
AND THAT THERE IS AN AIR POCKET
THEY'RE NOT.
SO EVEN THOUGH IT HAS WATER,
THE AIR POCKET WILL CONTINUE TO
GO UP.
IT WAS IT IS SYSTEM APPEAR ARE
THE TOP OF THE FLOUR, IT WILL
COLLAPSE ON YOU.
SO IF YOU PUT IT UNDERWATER AND
CUT IT UNDERWATER LIKE THAT,
THAT IS PERFECT.
>> AND THAT IS THE FIRST THING
GOING IN THE STEM IS WATER AND
NOT HER?
>> EXACTLY, THEN YOU CAN TAKE
IT OUT, AND THAT'S FINE.
THEN THE OTHER THING YOU WANT
TO DO IS PUT IT AT AN ANGLE, SO
INSTEAD OF DOING IT LIKE THAT,
IF IT LANDS ON THE BOTTOM OF
THE VASE,
>> AS HE.
>> IT WILL BASICALLY PLUG IT
OUT.
SO IF YOU CUT IT AT AN ANGLE
UNDERWATER, IT HAS A LOT MORE
SURFACE AREA.
LET ME GET THAT.
>> THAT'S OKAY, WE DON'T HAVE
TO CLEAN IT UP.
>> THERE'S A WHOLE LOT MORE
SURFACE AREA THERE, TOO.
>> AND REAL FAST, YOU SAID TO
CUT OFF THESE LITTLE THINGS?
>> YES.
>> WHAT ARE THEY?
>> YES, THESE LILIES ALWAYS
HAVE THESE ANSWERS WHICH ARE
THE PART OF THE FLOUR THIS IS
OKAY, I WILL MAKE SURE
EVERYTHING IS POLLINATED.
AS SOON AS A FLOWER OPENS, IF
YOU COULD JUST PULL THESE OFF,
AND BE SURE YOU WERE EITHER
GLOVES OR PULL THEM OFF TO WIPE
YOUR HANDS FOR WELL BECAUSE
THEY ARE BROWN, THAT SAID TO
THE FLOWERS THAT I DON'T HAVE
TO DO ANYTHING SO THEY LAST
LONGER.
>> OF THIS KEEP SOME FRESH
LONGER?
>> YES.
