What kinds of dahlias are suitable for making bouquets

There is a wide variety of varieties of this flower. If you are going to make a bouquet of dahlias with your own hands, you should find out which of them are preferred by professional florists. So, it is noticed that flowers of large sizes, having wide petals, will dry up pretty quickly. In addition, they usually have comparatively thin pedicels.

Taking into account the above, it is recommended to give preference to pomponious, globular and nymphoid varieties, as well as to some varieties of cactus form.

How much will the bouquet

Cut dahlias live 3 to 7 days depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment. In a cool room where the air temperature does not exceed 3-5 degrees Celsius, these flowers can stand in water up to 9-12 days, and a bouquet placed in a draft or in the sun fades in just 2-3 hours. Considering the above, a vessel with cut dahlias should be located in the coolest place of the room, but not in a draft. In addition, it is recommended that 2-3 times a day sprinkle the flowers with water so that they do not fade.

How and with what combination and which vases to use

Making a bouquet of dahlias with your own hands, it is recommended to use plants of one kind. The exception is when there is no way to select the required range of shades in another way.

Bouquets are made up only of them using additional plant materials in the form of gypsophila, asparagus, cobblestones, etc. But there are exceptions. For example, a very beautiful bouquet of dahlias and asters. Such compositions look especially advantageous if all the flowers take one shade.

Dahlias look beautiful in low vases. In the composition of a bouquet or a composition, they should be placed face-to-face with spectators, since when they are turned to the side, it is not as aesthetically pleasing as the view "in full face". In addition, when composing a bouquet, it is necessary to avoid the position, in which the dahlias will be in the same plane. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to arrange the inflorescences at different heights, and they should not be near, touching or closing each other. In this case, large flowers are placed in the lower part of the bouquet, small ones in the upper part.

During the composition of the composition, floristic fasteners are required, and in order to strengthen the stems and give them the necessary inclination, floristic wire should be used .

A bouquet of dahlias, photos of which, like themselves, always attract attention, can be supplemented with various decor.
