This trick likely involves a simple, time-tested method for reviving flowers and enhancing their color by addressing the factors that contribute to wilting and fading. Here’s a breakdown of how this could work and common tricks your mom might have taught you:
- Add Sugar to the Water • Why it works: Sugar acts as food for the flowers, mimicking the nutrients they would have received from the plant. It helps revitalize their blooms and can enhance color vibrancy.
• How to do it: Dissolve 1-2 teaspoons of sugar in lukewarm water and use it to refill the vase. - Use Aspirin or Vinegar • Why it works: Aspirin (crushed and dissolved) or a few drops of vinegar lowers the water’s pH, making it easier for the stems to absorb water. This helps refresh the flowers and restore their natural color.
• How to do it: Crush one aspirin or add 1-2 tablespoons of vinegar to the vase water. - Cut the Stems at an Angle • Why it works: Cutting the stems at a diagonal increases the surface area for water absorption and prevents them from sitting flat against the bottom of the vase.
• How to do it: Use sharp scissors or a knife to trim at least 1 inch off the bottom of each stem.
