The branches should be kept in a relatively cool (60 to 70 degrees) area. Warmer temperatures will cause buds to develop rapidly but at the expense of size, color and keeping quality.
At higher temperatures it is more difficult to maintain high humidity and this results in bud drop. During the first few days of forcing, syringing the branches (several times daily) with warm water will aid in best development of the buds.
An alternative method of preparing the branches is to spray them with water several times each day after keeping them in pails of warm water for the first two or three days. A piece of damp burlap should be wrapped loosely around the branches to keep the air humid. This method is particularly good if you are preparing a large number of branches. With either method, one-quarter to one half inch of the stem should be cut off and the water changed every two or three days.
Good light is important for the branches, but no sunlight. The heat of the sun's rays on a clear, sunny day is too intense for good forcing, and will fade the flowers.
