The term conifers is a collective term for conifers around the globe, which are all characterized by their unprotected, cone-shaped ovule and to which also classic coniferous trees such as pines, firs or larks need to be counted. The proliferation of conifers takes place over the individual seeds of their cones, which begin to germinate on cold and damp soil in most species. Although different conifers can be discovered in a tropical environment and consume less energy than conventional deciduous trees by needling, a significant proportion of conifers are found in temperate to cold regions and are the major source of vegetation in Scandinavia or the taiga of Russia. In the floristry of the 21st century, conifers play an essential role in various forms, being presented as living plants less frequently in connection with flowers and cut flowers. Thanks to their robust and woody character, twigs of conifers and cones are primarily used as decorative elements, allowing them to attract attention on wreaths and floral arrangements as additional decorative elements.

In principle, it is possible to breed any classical potted plant as a container plant and let grow in an attractive planter, in horticulture, however, such plants are referred to as potted plants that no longer find their place in a simple flowerpot due to their size. Most of the potted plants marketed in modern horticulture have their roots in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, allowing them to survive indoors, conservatories and terraces. Most of these potted plants are cultivated as succulents or as hydroponic plants and receive sufficient nutrients through this special care, even if they are not kept in the native climate. Already many centuries ago plants of this species came to Europe and were mainly cultivated in the Mediterranean, which was accompanied by the antique production of vases and bowls. The renowned production of Italian terracotta and other natural vessels also led to a rapid planting and to a specific search for flowers, shrubs or palms, which could thrive optimally in such a vessel. The most well-known potted plants include the boxwood, the vicus or the pomegranate tree. Basically, numerous, native deciduous and coniferous trees can be grown in pots, as the Japanese tradition of bonsai shows as a modification of European potted plants.

In the field of color theory, which is used, for example, in modern floristry, contrast also plays an important role. From experience, individual colors are perceived as particularly intense, as far as contrasting colors are in their immediate surroundings. The Florist takes advantage of this knowledge when designing bouquets and other floristic products by contrasting flowers with contrasting colors in a bouquet. All the flowers benefit from the mutual contrast and ensure that most people perceive a particularly colorful and luminous, floristic masterpiece.

The wreath wrapping tape takes over here some, essential tasks that can not meet pure straw wreaths. On the one hand, the continuous wrapping with this band variant creates a smooth and easier-to-machine surface if the garland is to be covered in the next step with further natural jewelery. On the other hand, without use of the Roman ribbon, remnants of the straw backing can be seen after decorating the wreath, which is an undesirable effect, especially when setting up a wreath. For this reason, wreath ribbon is usually used in green color to provide a natural base tone of the wreath. Despite its name, Kranzwickelband is not only used in making wreaths for a memorial service or similar celebrations, but also helps in the design of arrangements and other floristic objects, where a basic framework of wire or straw needs a natural disguise. Modern Kranzwickelband is made of fleece or paper, more stable variants are offered by the retailer of plastic. However, the latter are not suitable for use in funeral wreaths, because the plastic does not rot permanently and therefore does not meet the ecological criteria of modern cemetery.

Craquelen can be found primarily in older works of art, where the materials used become brittle over centuries and so slowly but surely destroy the smooth basic shape of the image or the sculpture. Various external factors, such as the direct exposure of sunlight, favor the development of craquels, so today world-class paintings are exhibited behind glass to optimally protect the sensitive surface of the images. Ceramic and clay objects also show cracks after many decades of continuous environmental change, but this change in structure is not always considered ugly or distracting compared to oil paintings. Anyone who wants to enrich their own four walls or their garden with artisan objects as an art lover can opt for this purpose for pitchers, vases and similar decorative elements that already have the purchase of Craquelen.

In this way, not only the stems of the flowers, but also, for example, the inside of a vase or the underlying soil successfully covered. In earlier times, natural elements were used to create a cuff, and the use of willow branches was established.

The main effect, however, is the visual enrichment, since the cuff paper tries to hide both the bare and green stems of the bouquet and covers the inside of a vase or other planter like a paper edge. The use of cuff paper has been established for a long time, but in earlier times cloth and even small, tortuous willow twigs were used to round off a bouquet artistically sophisticated. At the time, however, florists and florists did not yet have stable wires, such as those used today in the creation of bouquets, so that the predecessor of the cuff paper contributed significantly to the cohesion of the ostrich.
Curling ribbon is a special variant of decorative ribbon, which distinguishes itself from conventional, colored ribbons by special material properties. When the curling ribbon is pulled over a sharp edge, the ribbon contracts in a curled form, creating the eye-catching spiraling effect.

Cutting is one of the most important tasks of every florist, whereby the professional cutting of many types of flowers is conveyed during the apprenticeship as a florist. As the name implies, cutting is only necessary for cut flowers that are not given to the customer in pots or planters, but are placed as bouquet or bouquet in flower water. The flowers are supplied here only in a very simple way with nutrients on the flower water, with a larger intake of these nutrients ensures that the bouquet retains a fresh and colorful character for a long time. The aim of professional cutting is therefore to maximize the area over which a flower can absorb water and nutrients. The individual flower styles are therefore not cut straight, but rather the largest possible slope is created to exploit the effect mentioned in an optimal way. While amateur florists do the cutting manually with a suitable pair of scissors, the use of deposition machines is established in a professional environment. These not only ensure a uniform and appropriate cut for all cut flowers, but also bring the stems of different types of flowers to a uniform length, which ensures an aesthetic and uniform look of the produced bouquet or bouquet.
The term cylinder is used in various contexts and is also used in floristry and in the decorative area its application. In the original sense, the cylinder describes a geometric shape that provides a circular surface with a third, elongated dimension, creating the ideal basic shape of a tube. Cylinder is also the name of a distinctive hat shape for men, which takes over exactly this tube character and concludes with a circular brim. In decoration and floristry, all objects are called cylinders, which also borrow from this basic form and can thus be used optimally for various areas of application. Glass cylinders, for example, are popular vessels for cut flowers, which themselves have an elongated appearance and whose stems find so perfect space in a cylinder full of water. The basic shape of the cylinder is also established when working with floral foam to create flower arrangements from wet or dried flowers, enabling the creation of small and large columns made of flowers, flowers and other natural decorative elements.
