Can cola mixed with water really prolong the flowering period?

Mixing cola with water can really prolong the flowering period. Coke can last longer because of its high sugar content. The professional preservation of flowers mainly includes water, sterilization and sugar. Sugar has a good fresh-keeping effect. Sugar contained in carbonated drinks such as cola is an essential product for fresh-keeping of flowers, which provides a lot of energy for the growth of flowers.

At the same time, the ph value of cola is low and acidic, and the acidic environment can inhibit the growth of bacteria, thus promoting the growth of flowers. Therefore, there is a theoretical basis and reliability for cola to prolong the flowering period of flowers. Besides prolonging the flowering period of roses, cola is also effective for other fresh cut flowers.

Then, they should be soaked in warm water for a period of time, and then put in a cooler place to harden the flowers.

In the process of flower arrangement, you can spray hair styling water on the flowers, mix water with 1: 1 7-up (or Sprite), add half a teaspoon of household bleach to arrange flowers, and carefully clean the vases.
