How to: Make Fresh Flowers Last
As you may know fresh flowers are a necessity in my house. Years ago my mum came up with a brilliant way of prolonging the life of fresh flowers; not only is it affordable, but simple. The secret: add equal parts of water and 7UP into your vase… that\’s it! I have had roses last beyond two weeks, tulips never fall over and last longer than normal.
{use equal parts water and 7UP for long fasting flowers}
• Update: It has to be regular 7UP NOT diet – the flowers like the sugar
