It's nice when beautiful flowers are given as a gift. Extending the period of their natural beauty is a common desire. Florists shared secrets that will help make the time spent admiring a bouquet much longer. And we won't be talking about sugar and aspirin. There are other additives that flowers love.

What to do

If you were given orchids as a gift, you will need alcohol. It is best to take regular vodka. You need to add 20 g to the water. Alcohol will disinfect the water, and will allow bacteria to multiply, so the bouquet will last longer.

You don't need to add sugar. On the contrary, it will give bacteria nutrients to multiply. They will cause the plant to wilt more quickly.

Do not place a vase with a bouquet next to heating appliances. In particular, do not place it next to fruit. They emit ethylene, which will accelerate wilting.
