Add Sugar To The Flowers' Water

While this is important for keeping the flowers alive for as long as possible, the flowers will need more than water to survive. A simple way of helping to extend the life of your flowers is to mix a small amount sugar into the water that is in the vase. This will provide the flowers with food so that they can stay alive for much longer. To help the sugar dissolve in the water in the vase, you may want to make a simple syrup that can be added to the water. If you will need to change or supplement the water in your flower arrangement vase, you should be sure to add more sugar or simple syrup to the water.

Keep The Flowers In A Cool Location
