How do you sear the stems? Thanks.

@@Ephesians--ih5fl I got the information from Sarah Raven youtube videos. In essence, you boil water and put it into a pot. You have 2 rules : 1. Stem length =dip length. Which means dip longer flower stems deeper, while shorter stems less deep into the hot water: (roughly example: if flower is 40cm long stem- then dip 10cm of the bottom stem into this hot water - shorter stems = shorter dip). Second rule is: the the level of 'woodiness', or hardness, and thickness of the stem determines how long you keep it in hot water (rough example, roses or woody stems like astrantia, or thick sunflower stem I keep up to 15 seconds or aboe in hot water).However, non woody as well as slim stems like zinnia, marigold, cosmos, snapdragons, poppy, etc, I dip for 6 seconds. Generally, anything that wilted in your vase, it is best to sear. I hope this helps!
