Snyblomme
Snyblomme is blomme of blomknoppe (dikwels nog met die stingel en blare aan) wat gesny is van die plant wat dit dra. Dit word van die plant verwyder vir dekoratiewe gebruik. Tipiese gebruike is in vaasuitstallings, kranse en slingers. Baie tuiniers oes hul eie snyblomme uit hul tuine, maar daar is 'n beduidende blommebedryf vir snyblomme in meeste lande. Die plante wat gesny word, wissel volgens klimaat, kultuur en die plaaslike welvaart. Dikwels word die plante spesifiek vir die doel gekweek, in veld- of kweekhuisomstandighede. Snyblomme kan ook in die natuur geoes word.
Snyblomme is 'n belangrike siergewas. Die verbouing en handel van blomme is 'n spesialisering in tuinbou, spesifiek blombou.
Verbouing
[wysig | wysig bron]Snyblomverbouing is intensief, gewoonlik op grond van kweekhuis-monokultuur, en benodig groot hoeveelhede giftige plaagdoders, oorblyfsels waarvan dikwels nog steeds in blommewinkels op ingevoerde blomme gevind word.[1][2][3]
Hierdie feite het die ontwikkeling van bewegings soos "Slow Flowers" aangespoor, wat volhoubare blomme verbou in die verbruikersland (VSA, Kanada) self.[4]
Gebruike
[wysig | wysig bron]'n Algemene gebruik is deur bloemiste, gewoonlik vir versiering in 'n huis of gebou. Die snyblomme word gewoonlik in 'n vaas of ander houer geplaas. 'n Aantal soortgelyke versierings word gebruik, veral in groter geboue en by geleenthede soos troues. Hierdie is dikwels versier met addisionele blare.
In sommige kulture is die gebruik van snyblomme hoofsaaklik vir aanbidding; dit kan veral in Suidoos-Asië gesien word.
Soms word die blomme gepluk eerder as gesny, sonder enige noemenswaardige blare of stingel. Sulke blomme kan gebruik word om in hare te dra of in 'n knoopsgat. Massas blomme kan gebruik word vir besprenkeling, op 'n soortgelyke manier as konfetti.
Slingers, kranse en blomruikers is belangrike afgeleide produkte met toegevoegde waarde.

cut flowers are ... among the intensive crops grown in greenhouses in Great Britain. As in any intensive culture, flowers require the use of a wide range of pesticides to control diseases and pests, which can damage production and marketability. Plants and flowers entering into the European market must meet stringent regulations on plant health designed to prevent introduction of some pests or diseases. Therefore, imported cut flowers receive heavy pesticide applications prior to shipment.

Most of the toxic assault takes place in the waterlogged savannah surrounding the capital of Colombia, which has the world's second-largest cut-flower industry after the Netherlands, producing 62 percent of all flowers sold in the United States. ... 36 percent of the toxic chemicals applied by Florverde farms in 2005 were listed as "extremely" or "highly" toxic by the World Health Organization, Isaza acknowledged.
