How to prolong the life of a bouquet of flowers: forget about aspirin and sugar
There was a time when no bouquet of flowers was placed in a vase until an aspirin tablet or a couple of spoons of granulated sugar had dissolved in the water.
Some people still believe that these products prolong the life of flower bouquets. In fact, there are more effective options.
We'll tell you how to prolong the life of flowers.
We are talking about natural honey, which has long been favored by gardeners and florists and used as a rooting agent and growth stimulator.
This is not a professional flower care product, but there is no doubt about its effectiveness.
And if there are no other options, then honey will completely cope with this task.
But this does not mean that by putting a spoonful of honey in water you can admire the flowers for several weeks.
Flowers quickly fade because pathogenic microorganisms start to breed in the water. To combat them, some people prefer to add bleach to the water.
But in fact, it is better to change the water more often - at least once every 2 days, and some species need to change the water 2 times a day.
At the same time, it is necessary to regularly renew the cuts on the stems.
