Have you ever wished that the beautiful red roses that you got on Valentine’s Day from your true love or even your good friend could last a little longer than they generally do?
There are ways to extend their fragile lives. And the tricks go for any cut flowers, besides roses, too.
1. Clean the vase or the container from the dust.
2. Fill the vase about one-half full with lukewarm (never cold) water.
3. Remove all leaves and foliage from the portion of the stems that will rest beneath the water.Re-cut the stems at an angle with a sharp knife
4. Here’s a simple formula: add 1 teaspoon sugar, 2 teaspoons of vinegar, and a half lemon-lime soft drink (not diet) and mix it all with the water.
Now you can take a longer time to smell the beautiful roses!
