Best Answer

Because a flower begins dying as soon as it is cut, one must of course preserve as much life nectar in the plant as possible. By cutting the stem of a flower at an angle underwater and in the early morning, one prevents the fragile fibers of a plant from drying out and overall helps the cut stay fresh. Some cut flowers, however, like daffodils and tulips must have the cut end of their stems scorched so that the end is sealed and the sap stays in.
