Making fresh flowers last longer

(1/3) > >>

Eric W:
I read that using a vase that was short and squat to hold a fair amount of water helps. Since water high up on the stem deteriorates the stem. I have a weird little vase like affair that has a cluster of pins in the bottom that the stem sticks on and it seems to  keep the flowers fresh longer, but maybe it is the low level of water in the short  squat container. It looks like a flying saucer with a hole in it where the stems go. Just a though.

amy:
Put them in coke cola it works great

anne:
Brown sugar works the best!

rachele:
can aspirin prolong the life of cut flowers?

Olivia:
This website gave me some good imformation for my science fair project. I'm doing it on what kills flowers quickest when submerged in 3 drinks: diet coke, coke, and water. Finding out that sugar keeps them living longer, that totally changes my theory. :) :0) :O
