1. ADD SPRITE TO THE WATER

We bet you have never heard of this outrageous sounding tip. But this might be the best thing you could do for your flower. Adding just ¼ cup of this drink can increase the lifespan of your flower considerably. Apparently, the soda has enough acidity to prevent toxins from breeding and the sugar essentially feds your flower. Win-win for both.

On the other hand, you could add a teaspoon full of apple cider and vinegar, along with a dash of lime to achieve the same results.

2. TRIM THE STEMS

How could possibly shortening the stems further help? Yet, it does. Use garden shears to make a clean snip at least 2-3 inches from the bottom. Cut at an angle to improve water circulation through the stem. If you keep the stem flat against the base of the vase, the flower won’t be able to absorb any water. Do not scissors to cut because you could end up hurting the flower with an unclean cut.

You can cut the stem according to the size of the vase you want to put it in. the smaller the vase, the higher the snip.

3. ADD BLEACH

Another disinfectant that can be used to kill the germs and bacteria brewing in the water. Bacteria are the single biggest killers of your favorite plants. A little bleach can keep the water clean and germ free. Do not try and add detergent to it. It’ll simply effervesce and use up all the necessary oxygen for the plant.

4. CHANGE THE WATER EVERY 2 DAYS

Set up a routine. Or even better, a reminder on your phone so that you never forget to change the flower’s water every 2 days. Stale water gets cloudy, lack the necessary nutrition and oxygen, and breeds germs. All of them are a big no no. It won’t take long to finish this easy task and you’re obviously better off with a live, healthy blossom.
