A flower booster in water
In addition to copper coins, another ingredient can be added to extend the life of fresh flowers. Adding a spoonful of sugar to the water in the vase, along with the coins, will give the flowers a real boost. Sugar is a source of energy for humans as well as flowers and helps them maintain a lush appearance, thus preventing premature wilting.
When flowers are cut from their tree or shrub, they lose their source of sustenance and food. Adding sugar to the water helps them compensate for this deficiency and stay hydrated, keeping the petals fresh and vibrant for longer.
