I was told u add a short time bit to the water does anyone know? If so how much do i add
I usually incorporate like half a teaspoon of sugar to warmish river, just warm satisfactory the avoid the harshness of the cold water but minus being warm.
You can attain sachet's from the florist which is basically just sugar.
Don't use salt. Sugar will provide vitality to the flowers. Another hint is to add a rush of bleach to the water, this will stop algae growth. Remember to change the sea every few days. Also, cut the stem of the flowers on an angle with sharp scissors so the stem is not sitting flat on the vase, this will allow the flowers to drink properly from the river. Gina is correct..aspirin is made from salicylic acid which is a compound found strongly in willow trees..Willow trees own a natural root harmone to aid in plant growth and uplifting cuttings from plants..In the old days as far as way subsidise in the romans and greek empires they chewed straight willow yelp for headaches..and this is what aspirin is made from..salicylic acid is also a root harmone.here is a article on "willow water"..

Actually, Koko2008 is correct. I own used 7up or Sierra Mist as half of the water for cut flowers. They last the longest I have ever seen cut plants survive. I used a 50/50 water/soda mix and have wonderful bouquet that lasted 2 weeks. Just change the hose down every second day you don't need anything contained by it.
Answers: Nothing. Just confer clean water. I watch a show once and they did tests to see which flowers bloomed longer over five days and the clean hose was the one that kept the flowers alive for much longer.
Just a small pinch of sugar, willl do! Try 7-Up
i dont think you would add brackish as salt is known to dehydrate. Just a pinch of sugar.
