Daughter wanted to sell some sunflowers yesterday. Cut some for her put in a bucket and within 15 min they looked horrible. About half hour into it petals were falling off. Any suggestions? Should I put something in the water to help?
cut them first thing in the morning, never in the heat of the day. keep them in shade, some put aspirin in water or gingerale. some buy powder at florists. mine last long time without anything but new water every morning.
For cut flowers, I put a teensy bit of bleach and sugar in the water. I think the bleach is to kill bacteria and the sugar's to provide nutrients.
