How do I keep my flowers alive longer?

Question

They are inside plants, kept inside glass vases.

Answer 1

i find that putting an ice cube in the vase, it brightens them up and helps them live longer
i did it with a dozen roses and they lasted 3 weeks !

Answer 2

I heard from lots of commercials that miracle-Gro works but feeding it daily and watering it is an important job. Try moving the location of the plant to a window where sunlight shines, or if there is too much sun move it to a cooler place.
If you live in apartment or somewhere with a balcony put it out there for awhile.
And as you say glass vase, do you mean plats or flowers, because you stated plants? Try changing the pot to something more convinient and spacious, and make sure the soil is good.

Answer 3

if they are picked flowers then you need to clean the vase out every 2 to 3 days and pour a little 7up or sprite in the water!

Answer 4

Cut off about 1/8 of an in. every day or so, and change the water frequently. Also, you can pick up packets of plant food at your local florist which really help.

Answer 5

I was told if you put a half of cap full f bleach in the water, it will keep the water clear and the flower will live longer

Answer 6

Flower shops now carry pouches of powder that can be disolved in the water. (1) aspirin will do the same thing.

Answer 7

1 part 7up, 4 parts water, one aspirin. wait for the aspirin to disolve. stir. and pour some in each of your plants.

Also a good rememdy for dying plants.

Answer 8

I was told that Tylenol is excellent if you want your flowers to last longer. I tried it once and it worked, guaranteed.

Answer 9

try and cut the stems under water and add some fizzy lemonade to the water

Answer 10
