In fact, flowers are easy, but you can't maintain them. if properly maintained, most flowers can be kept fresh for more than a week, and a few with a short life span can also prolong their shelf life. Today, I will teach you several ways to keep flowers fresh, so that you can enjoy the flowers beautifully in the future.

Method 1: beer

Adding a little beer to the vase with flowers will prolong the shelf life of the flowers.

Because beer contains ethanol can make flower branch incision disinfection and antiseptic, but also contains sugar and other nutrients, can provide nutrients for branches and leaves.

Method 2: carbonated soda + clear water

And the water also becomes muddy, but with Sprite plus water

A week later, the flowers are still beautiful!

The principle of Sprite soaking flowers:

The carbonic acid contained in Sprite can kill bacteria, and high syrup can be used as a nourishment.

Method 3: salt water + sugar

After the flowers are picked, the original sugar can not meet the needs of flowering, therefore, adding a small amount of sugar in clear water can promote the bud to open and prolong the shelf life of flowers.

The main function of adding salt to clear water: to prevent the growth of bacteria in the water, to a certain extent, through the different concentrations of salt water and flower cell fluid, to maintain the water absorption capacity of flowers, so as to maintain the freshness of flowers. However, the concentration of salt water should not be too high, generally no more than 5%, otherwise it will cause cell dehydration. Salt water can also be replaced with white vinegar.

Method 4: fresh flower preservative

Adding appropriate amount of chemicals to the flower arrangement solution and using the chemicals to inhibit the flower branches can prolong the fresh-keeping time.

The method of self-made fresh-keeping agent for flowers:

1. Take a little detergent and dissolve it in warm water to form a solution of 2% Murray and 4% concentration. Soak the obliquely cut flower branches into the water depth 5cm or so, which can prolong the life of the flowers by 2-3 times.

2. A simple antistaling agent made from 1/3000 aspirin aqueous solution can also prolong the flowering period by 7 to 10 days.
