want to 117 00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:11,400 do that is because when we put 118 00:04:08,233 --> 00:04:13,833 it into the vase, it's gonna 119 00:04:09,833 --> 00:04:15,966 leave room for the water to

00:04:17,933 --> 00:04:24,333 fall below the waterline. 124 00:04:19,666 --> 00:04:26,133 So pulling off those extra 125 00:04:21,833 --> 00:04:27,800 pieces of foliage is important. 126 00:04:24,333 --> 00:04:29,400 We want to leave some foliage at 127 00:04:26,133 --> 00:04:31,066 the top too, because it's the 128 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:34,866 foliage that helps bring the 129 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:36,400 water up the stem and hydrate 130 00:04:31,066 --> 00:04:37,133 the flower. 131 00:04:34,866 --> 00:04:39,666 We'll cut that and place it into 132 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:41,900 the water.

00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:55,533 of the vase. 137 00:04:49,266 --> 00:04:56,766 Now, with a smaller vase like 138 00:04:52,266 --> 00:04:58,666 this, we can add four or five or 139 00:04:55,533 -->

add a 143 00:05:02,033 --> 00:05:07,233 seventh right in the center, and 144 00:05:04,166 --> 00:05:09,033 that's going to fill out the 145 00:05:06,066 --> 00:05:10,933 vase perfectly. 146 00:05:07,233 --> 00:05:13,600 The other stems that I have 147 00:05:09,033 --> 00:05:15,366 could be used short in a vase 148 00:05:10,933 --> 00:05:21,533 like this. 149 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:23,333
