What is the best way to preserve flowers?

This is only a suggestion that will perhaps get some response from others. I have used Glycerin to preserve plants such as umbrella plant with gree dye added. If you want to save the natural colors, which will not be the excat as when fresh, Do Not add dye. Use the key word Glycerin to search and read more about using this as a way to preserve flowers. One thing you have to do is to start the process when the plant is still looking good. For example if the edges of the flower/plant have already started to dry the glycerin will not restore the dried pieces I have a lovely bird of paradise that I'm going to try this with, Good Luck!

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best 'liquid' to maintain flowers in is the following:

--A sugar/water solution (the ideal proportions may take some experimenting)

--something that lowers the pH of the water and keeps bacteria and fungi from growing, like a biocide.

Using this method can make fresh flowers last for as much as 30 days or more!

How do you prolong ejaculion?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First, you have to know the signals that your body is about to ejaculate. You can learn to recognize the signals by masturbating. When you feel the signals, you can try

  • to stop moving. Some times the lack of stimulation will be enough.
  • Think about something non-sexy (politics, crabgrass, your job, etc.)
  • pull out and do something that turns your lover on that's not particularly exciting for you -- massaging feet, maybe.

You can also try masturbating before intercourse, or continuing to stimulate your partner after you ejaculate -- use your finger or tongue, for example. It will take you a while to build up another head of steam, and meanwhile your partner will be getting more and more excited.

How melange yarn is manufactured?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Melange yarn is dyed before spinning. The yarn is produced from color printed tops or slivers. The color bands are short enough that each fiber has multiple colors. This results in a heathered effect after spinning. Think of the individual hairs of a tabby cat. Individual hairs are banded so they contain both black and grey on the same hair. When the hair is brushed off the resulting effect is a heathered grey. You can dye something with a similar appearance by choosing a yarn of blended cellulose and protein fibers, such as Trekking's Pro Natura, which is a blend of wool and bamboo. These two fibers take dye at different rates. When dyed with an acid (protein) dye, the wool will take up more dye so it is darker than the bamboo fibers which take up less dye.
