UAportal has prepared three useful life hacks on how to extend the life of flowers in a vase. Find out what methods can be used to achieve this.

You need to cut the stems and change the water

To extend the life of flowers, it is important to cut the stems and change the water in the vase every few days. Cutting the stems at a 45-degree angle promotes better water absorption and prolongs the freshness of the flowers.

The right location

It is important to keep flowers away from fruits and vegetables. They give off ethylene gas, which can cause the flowers to spoil faster.

A solution of sugar and vinegar

You can also add a solution of sugar and vinegar to prolong the life of the flowers. Before putting the bouquet, you need to mix two tablespoons of sugar and white vinegar with water in a vase.
