Cut Flower Preservative 3 Food
FRESH CUT FLOWER PRESERVATIVE MIXTURE & BOUQUET TIPS
Do preservatives really work? YES they do. Commercially made powders deter bacteria and mold, provide sucrose to feed the flowers, and acidify the water (which helps stems take up more water). From my favorite garden magazine, Garden Gate, June 2010 issue.

Steps:
- Measure, mix and use!
- Tips:.
- Outdoors: Harvest flowers when it's cool outside, in the early morning after the dew has dried.
- Cut stems at an angle, remove all foliage that will be under the water, so it won't rot.
- Place stems in a clean container of water, a bucket will do.
- Indoors: Either in the bucket or fill the sink with water, cut 1" off the stems while under water (to keep air bubbles form blocking the stems).
- Place stems in the prepared water the floral preservative.

CUT FLOWER PRESERVATIVE #1
I stumbled across this recipe for making your own flower preservative on About.com today. TIPS: To keep your cut flowers fresh you need to give them water and food, protect them from decay or infection, plus keep them cool and out of direct sunlight. Try to keep your flowers away from ripe fruit as the gases will shorten their life. Keep them in a cool area and away from direct sunlight. Flowers with milky latex-containing sap such as poinsettia, heliotrope, hollyhock, euphorbia and poppies need special treatment. The milky sap prevents water loss by the stem but in cut flowers it prevents the absorption of water. To prevent this problem dip the bottom tips (1/2 inch) of the stems in boiling water for about 30 seconds, or by flashing the tips of the stems with a lighter or other flame.

Steps:
- Discard decaying leaves and flowers and any foliage which would be below the water line, plus any unnecessary leaves.
- Trim bottom ends of flower stems by cutting on an angle to maximize the surface area for water and to prevent the ends from resting flat on the bottom of the vase.
- Mix lemon-lime beverage, bleach, and warm water. Be sure to use warm water (100-110 degrees Fahrenheit or 38-40 Celsius). It will move up the stems more effectively than cold water; add flowers.
