Among the natural remedies to contribute to the good maintenance of fresh cut flowers is to use half an Aspirin tablet . The important thing is to dissolve only half a tablet in water as a whole tablet could contribute to the stem and greenery drying out. To reduce the bacterial load that could form inside the jar, it is a good idea to add two drops of wine vinegar and a little lemon juice, without exaggerating too much.

Every time you proceed to change the water in the vase, it is a good idea to clean the sides of the vase by passing a sponge moistened with a little bicarbonate of soda and lemon. This helps reduce the formation of bacteria on the walls in the vessel. A good preservative to use to polish the leaves is one based on lemon juice and sugar.

Thanks to these simple gardener tricks you will be able to keep the flowers fresh and intact for a long time, as if they had just been purchased or received.
