To have a beautiful vase of snow plum blossoms for home decoration, you first need to select the most beautiful branches. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect branches:
- Choose branches with closely clustered buds for continuous blooming, creating balance and harmony.
- Prefer branches with both buds and blossoms to ensure longer freshness. Typically, Tet decorations last for a week, so selecting branches with too many blossoms may cause them to wither quickly.
- The buds and blossoms on the branches should be fresh, not withered, broken, or crushed.
- Select both straight and curved branches for easy shaping when arranging.
