The spray bottle, it's just regular water, aspirin, scissors and of course water, measuring tape and we're going to need some of that cut flower food as well. Well most of these items and supplies you already have them at home. Now, when selecting your flowers be sure that they look healthy, there's no yellow turning anywhere, because basically what it means is they're not healthy, you got to stay away from them they're not healthy. Also the stems, if they're slimy, stay away from them.
