How to extend the life of cut flowers? Try these 4 little methods

1. Cut off the leaves on the part of the flower stem that will be submerged in water to prevent rotting, and insert it into water immediately after cutting. For woody flower stems, scorch the end over a stove fire, then soak the scorched part in alcohol for 1 minute, take it out, rinse it with clean water, and place it in a vase.

2. After placing cut flowers in a vase, do not put them in direct sunlight, and even more so do not place them near a heater, otherwise the flowers will easily wither.

3. Putting 0.1% table salt in the vase can prevent decay, and putting 0.1% table sugar can add nutrients. Put half a tablet of aspirin crushed into powder, or one tablet of vitamin C, into 500 grams of water to extend the flowering period.

4. When arranging flowers, use clean river water, rainwater or pond water that is close to room temperature. If using tap water, it must first be stored in a vat (bucket) for 1 day before use. At the same time, pay attention to changing the water frequently, promptly remove withered flowers and leaves, and appropriately shorten the flower stems.
