If you bring home fresh flowers or cut some from your own garden you will want to add flower food to the water to make them last. You can make your own flower food with items from around the house.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 1 tbs. sugar
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice, vinegar or bleach
  • Water
Step1
Dissolve a tbs. of sugar in a quart of lukewarm water. The sugar is the source of food for your flowers.
Step2
Add 1 tsp. of either lemon juice, vinegar or bleach to the water and mix well. These ingredients all help to keep the solution from becoming too thick for the flower to drink.
Step3
Pour your flower food water into a vase and add the flowers.
Step4
Give your flowers fresh food every few days as long as they last.
