Want your flower bouquet to stay fresh for weeks? As someone who's relied on my florist's expertise for years, I can attest that cut flowers don't have to wilt quickly.
Her simple, time-tested trick? Add vinegar and sugar to the vase water. Here's how it works.
- 2 tablespoons of vinegar
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
1. Fill the vase with water.
2. Pour in the vinegar.
3. Add the sugar.
4. Place the bouquet in the water.
5. Change the water every two days.
6. Remix the solution each time.
Your stunning bouquet will now thrive much longer! Easy, effective, and reliable—no more quick-fading flowers.
Roses, lilies, lilacs, ranunculus, and more will retain their vibrant colors and freshness.
Pro tip: Apple cider vinegar works too—use 2 tablespoons in place of white vinegar.
Sugar provides essential nutrients, especially for bulb flowers like narcissus, gerberas, tulips, and ranunculus, or any spring bloomers.
Vinegar disinfects the water, preventing bacteria, fungi, or slime buildup for cleaner, healthier hydration.
