It is always nice to have flowers around our house! Their color and smell always lift our mood and boost our energy! Escpecially when they are gifted we want to preserve them as long as possible and we can do so by following one of the tips below:

Sparkling water Pour 1/4 cup sparkling water in the vase with the water and the flowers, it helps preserving the flowers and keeps the water clean!

Vodka To maintain the flowers all you have to do is kill the bacteria that nestle in the water. To do so add to the water in the vase just a few drops of vodka to slow down the ripening rate of the flowers and one spoon of sugar. Make sure you change the water of the vase every day, renewing the vodka mixture too.
