Ever wondered if your choice of cutting tool is affecting your flowers' longevity? In this refreshing deep-dive, mother-daughter duo Liza and Lizzy from Wildly Native Flower Farm tackle the great clipper versus knife debate that divides the floral industry.
The science behind flower cutting is fascinating—creating a clean wound at the stem end significantly impacts water uptake and vase life. This episode unpacks why traditional florists often prefer the precision of a sharp knife while farmers typically reach for ergonomic clippers when harvesting hundreds of stems in the field.
