To extend the life of cut flowers:
✅ Use clean water & change it every 2-3 days – Dirty water breeds bacteria.
✅ Trim stems at a 45-degree angle – This maximizes water absorption.
✅ Remove leaves below the waterline – Prevents bacterial growth.
✅ Keep flowers in a cool place overnight – Slows aging and wilting.
✅ Use a professional flower solution – Flower Boosters can help flowers last up to 20 days!
💡 Pro Tip: The free packets from florists typically extend flowers 4-6 days. Flower Boosters provides hydration, nutrients, and bacterial defense for 3X longer vase life.
Sugar can provide short-term hydration, but without antibacterial agents, it feeds bacteria and shortens lifespan. A balanced flower solution works better.
These DIY methods provide partial benefits, but they lack the full hydration + nutrients + bacteria control that professional solutions like Flower Boosters provide.
Roses often suffer from air bubbles blocking water uptake. Fix this by:
✔️ Re-cutting stems underwater at a 45-degree angle to remove air pockets.
✔️ Using warm (not hot) water for better absorption.
✔️ Removing excess leaves to reduce moisture loss.

Want longer lasting roses? Sign up for VIP notifications of our upcoming Rose specific formula. While most roses only last 4-7 days, we’ve created a formula that makes roses thrive for up to 14 days! Launching May 2025.
Homemade solutions (sugar, lemon juice, vinegar) provide partial benefits but lack the proper hydration, nutrients, and bacterial resistance needed for long-lasting flowers.
⚠️ What You Need to Know:
💧 Without flower food: Every 1-2 days (bacteria grows fast).
💧 With standard free packets: Every 2-3 days.
💧 With Flower Boosters: Every 3-4 days—prevents bacteria while hydrating flowers.
Tap water is fine for most flowers, but filtered water removes chlorine and heavy metals that can shorten vase life. If your tap water is hard or high in chlorine, filtered or distilled water may help.
✅ Yes! Cooler temperatures slow wilting. This is why florists store flowers in coolers.
⚠️ Avoid placing flowers near fruits—they release ethylene gas that makes flowers wilt faster. If you buy grocery store flowers stored next to produce, they may have already been exposed!
❌ No! Smashing stems damages their ability to absorb water. Instead, trim at a sharp 45-degree angle.
🪙 Nope! Copper in pennies used to have antibacterial effects, but modern pennies contain zinc, which does nothing for flowers.While pure copper has does have antimicrobial properties, a single modern coin doesn’t release enough to prevent bacteria. Even pure copper, while it will help, is not a strong defence against modern bacteria and will only have a minimal impact on how long your flowers live.
Use Flower Boosters for maximum hydration + bacterial resistance.
💠 Trim stems & change water every 3 days to prevent blockage.
💠 Keep flowers away from fruit (ethylene gas shortens lifespan).
💠 Mist petals lightly to keep them hydrated in dry environments.
💠 Store flowers in a cool place overnight to slow aging.
