As water molecules evaporate from plant leaves, they attract the water molecules still in the plant, helping to pull water up through the stems from the roots. The combination of transpiration and capillary action delivers the water from the bottom to the top of a plant.
Water and water uptake are major factors in keeping cut flowers fresh. A process called hardening ensures maximum water uptake. It simply means placing the freshly cut stem in 110Â° F (43.5Â° C) water (plus preservative). Place in a cool location for an hour or two.
