Make your flower bouquet last longer
There’s nothing more lovely than decorating your house with fresh, newly-cut flowers. However, they lose access to water and nutrients supplied by their roots once you cut them, and they die pretty quickly. It’s heartbreaking to see your beautiful flowers deteriorate so fast. Fortunately, there are ways to extend your flowers’ lives, such as adding a teaspoon of baking soda to the vase.
Since sodium bicarbonate is alkaline, it can help balance the acidity of the vase’s water. This technique also makes water resemble the soil’s alkalinity and prevents bacteria from creating an ecosystem, which slows down the withering process. Although baking soda won’t make your flower arrangement entirely immortal, it’ll undoubtedly let you enjoy its natural beauty for at least a week.
