Keeping Flowers Fresh for Longer

////////6nope it is bleach belive it or not:p when you get your flowers trim off 1 cm of the stems so you open up the water arteries in the stems then fill your vase with warm water NEVER cold as this can shock them:) then add 1 or 2 drops of any house hold bleach and this will kill off any bactira that can cause the flowers water canals to block up ( kinda like blocked arteries to the heart) then replace the water everyday and every second day add plant food any kinda food but bone marrow is best:) That should keep your flowers looking fresh for ages... Hope this helps you out have a nice day:p

I just cut the stems of the flowers daily and change the water also. A lady that works at a flower shop told me to add a little bit of 7up or sprite to the water. My flowers do seem to last quite a bit longer when I do it

I've always added an aspirin to my flowers, but I have many friends who add Sprite or 7Up. It may well be the sugar content that does this. I also find that if I cut the bottom of the stem at an angle every few days they last longer. We all sure want them to last as long as they can.

I have always heard to cut fresh flowers and put them into warm water immediately. Make sure to always cut them at an angle even with flowers bought in a store or flower shop. I have always used an aspirin or the packet you get with some of the flowers. I have learned a few tricks I will have to try and see if they work. I will let you know when I do.

is it ??..i have no idea will try it

I usually use sugar for it. Lady from flower shop told me about it and it works great.

I put a teaspoon full of sugar in the vase with the water before I put flowers in. Seems to make them last longer

Asprins work on roses

aspirin works.. sugar works, too. paracetamol, could be. not sure though. and try to sprinkle the flowers with water every morning..

dont pick them

yes
