These unique plots are designed to nurture flowers you can snip and bring into your home for decoration. Flowers need constant access to water or they'll shrivel up. For this reason, when cutting your blooms, keep them in a water source as much as possible. The time of day during which you cut can help. Morning is ideal, as this is when flowers are the most hydrated.
