If you don’t take care of the bouquet, it will quickly wither.

That's why experienced housewives throw a sugar cube into a vase of water.

This trick helps to delay the moment when flowers begin to fade.

However, even cut plants need nutrients to maintain their freshness and vibrancy.

Sugar added to the vase will provide the necessary supply of glucose, which supports metabolic processes and strengthens the structure of flowers. As a result, the bouquet will delight longer.
