What to add to the vase to make the flowers last longer: 3 useful hacks

Do you want your flowers to stay fresh for as long as possible? SSPDaily has prepared some simple but effective ways to help your flowers stand the test of time, allowing you to enjoy their beauty for a long time.

Using vodka

The flowers should be placed in a vase and two drops of vodka should be added, which will prevent the growth of bacteria and ethylene production, extending the life of the flowers. Vodka helps the flowers absorb nutrients more easily, making them stay fresh longer.

This approach works especially well with hardy flowers such as roses or daisies and can make a big difference in their longevity. Remember to change the water and add two drops of vodka every two days to effectively preserve the flowers.

Using a sugar and vinegar solution

You can make a solution by mixing 2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 2 tablespoons of sugar in the water of a vase before placing the flowers in it. The sugar will provide the flowers with nutrients, and the vinegar will prevent the growth of bacteria, which will lead to longer blooming. For maximum effect, it is important to change the water and re-add the sugar and vinegar solution every 2-3 days.

Using aspirin

Two aspirin tablets can be dropped into the water in the vase to provide nutrition and reduce bacterial growth, which will allow the flowers to bloom longer. The acetylsalicylic acid contained in aspirin promotes better water absorption by flowers and maintains their health and vitality. Aspirin is especially effective for flowers with woody stems, such as sunflowers or chrysanthemums, helping them stay strong and vibrant for a long time.
