Why Flower Boosters Works Better (And Lasts Longer)
Our formula includes:
Food-grade carbohydrates – steady nourishment to keep blooms open without added fillers or stabilizers. Only the best nutrients for the best results.
Caffeine – a natural stimulant that increases water uptake and stem energy
Non-toxic preservatives – food-grade preservatives like those found in your own pantry. They fight bacteria for longer-lasting water clarity
No mystery ingredients – safe for pets, edible flowers, and your home.
Change the water 💧 every 3-4 days and use filtered water for best results (limits the minerals in ground water that can clog stems). Add Flower Boosters to the vase water, recut the stems, and enjoy!
Frequently Asked Questions
Are free flower food packets bad for flowers?
Not exactly—but they’re limited. They’re a bare minimum solution (which is why they can afford to give them away) and often can’t keep up with modern demands like hot rooms, long transport, or mixed bouquets. They are also the same formula used to keep flowers suspended at the retail stores so they were never intended to make your flowers perk up and come alive because that would limit shelf life at the stores.
Why does Flower Boosters outperform store packets?
It combines hydration support, nutrient stability, and antimicrobial power—all in a formula safe for pets and sensitive plants.
Do I still need to change the water every day?
With free packets, they recommend every 2-3 days so it can be a more labor intensive option. With Flower Boosters, you only need to change every 3-4 days and you’ll see your flowers visibly bloom and thrive—with less effort.
