Let's talk about the appearance of the vases used for home flower arrangement. One type is transparent, whether it is glass or crystal; the other is opaque, such as porcelain, pottery, frosted, etc.
The advantage of transparent vases is that you can intuitively see the amount and cleanliness of the water for flower arrangement. If you find that the amount of water is insufficient, you can add it in time or change it in time if you find that the water becomes turbid. The disadvantage is that the roots and stems of the flowers can be clearly seen, which is not very beautiful to some extent.
The opaque vase is just the opposite. One advantage is that the roots and stems cannot be seen. The other is that the vase can have different colors, shapes, materials, etc., and the overall sense can be better when matched with flowers. The disadvantage is that the water situation of the flower arrangement cannot be observed intuitively.
Most friends will choose a single flower material for flower arrangement at the beginning, such as a few roses or carnations in a vase. At this stage, I recommend using a straight transparent glass vase. The most commonly used size is about 10-12 cm in diameter and 25 cm to 30 cm in height. This size of vase is generally suitable for 10-20 flowers. At the same time, for most upright string flowers, such as gladiolus, violets, snapdragons, and big swallowtails, straight tube vases are a very good choice.
Some friends prefer to try to match a variety of different types of flowers, so straight tube vases are not very suitable. You can choose a type with a smaller diameter than the bottom of the bottle or a larger diameter than the bottom of the bottle. This type of vase is more suitable for mixed vase insertion of various types of flowers, and the flowers are easier to spread.
In short, if you are a novice, it is recommended to start with a transparent straight tube glass vase, and then consider other types of materials after you are proficient in matching.
