A bouquet of fresh flowers is, of course, a very pleasant gift, but it is painfully short-lived.
If you want to keep a gift from a person dear to your heart longer, you can’t do without special floral tricks.
Sugar
One of the means that helps cut flowers stay “in shape” for as long as possible is the most common granulated sugar.
Three teaspoons of sugar are enough for a liter of water.
Aspirin
If you want to prolong the life of a flower arrangement, add aspirin to the vase, but not in regular tablets (they dissolve poorly in water), but in effervescent form.
In this case, you will need about half a tablet per liter of water.
Boric acid and soda
Finally, if you have the opportunity, you can use a small amount of boric acid and soda - literally a pinch. The same sugar that we mentioned above will help to enhance the effect of this "combo".
