To get sunflowers to open quickly, cut the stem, dip it in water, and let it sit at room temperature.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Cut the Stem: This is crucial. A fresh cut allows the sunflower to absorb water more efficiently.
-
Dip in Water: Immediately after cutting, dip the cut end of the sunflower stem into water.
-
Room Temperature: Place the sunflower in a vase with fresh water and let it sit at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight initially.
