1. Use lemon or apple cider vinegar
Every time you change the water for the flowers, mix in a few spoons of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Lemon juice increases the acidity in the water, so it is very effective in helping to keep the flowers fresh for a long time.

3. Use vitamin B1
Crush a vitamin B1 tablet and mix it with 1 liter of water, put the water in the vase and then put the flowers in. This way of arranging will help the flowers absorb water and keep the water in the stem for a long time, thereby keeping the flowers fresh longer.
4. Use Listerine mouthwash
Mix Listerine in a ratio of 15g/1 liter of water, this solution will help kill bacteria in the water to keep the flowers fresh longer.
5. Use dishwashing liquid
You can add a little dishwashing liquid to the vase to help the flowers stay fresh longer and not rot.
6. Use Aspirin and Javel bleach
When arranging flowers, you should add 1/2 Aspirin tablet and a few drops of Javel bleach to the vase. Aspirin will remove all toxins in the water, helping the flowers stay fresh longer. Javel bleach stimulates the flowers, helping them bloom evenly.
