Flowers are a great way to decorate your home, but they need special care to stay fresh and beautiful. Florists recommend using sugar to extend the life of cut flowers.

Sugar is a natural nutrient that provides flowers with the energy they need to grow and develop. It also helps to improve the stem's water absorption, which can also help to extend the life of the flowers.

To use sugar to care for cut flowers, simply add one to two teaspoons of sugar to the water in the vase. Sugar can be used for all types of cut flowers, but it is especially effective for flowers with a short shelf life, such as roses and carnations.
