Another hindrance to a good flair and slower landing speed is a nose heavy air plane.

a nose heavy plane lands at a faster speed and looses elevator authority as you near stall speed and try to flair.
A HUGE ditto to this.

If the plane is nose heavy, everything else you try to do will only help a little, but you'll never solve the problem until you balance it properly
