    Here is what you'll need!
    SUPPLIES
    Sharp scissors
    Penny from before 1982
    Ice
    Vodka
    Lemon-lime soda
    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Remove any leaves that will be underwater.
    2. Cut stems 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the bottom. Cut at a sharp angle underwater.
    3. Add a few drops of vodka to your vase water. Vodka helps slow wilting.
    4. Add ¼ cup of lemon-lime soda to your vase. This will help flowers last longer.
    5. Put a copper penny in your vase water. Copper acts as an acidifier to fight bacteria growth in the vase.
    5. Store flowers in the fridge overnight. The low temperature helps slow aging.
    6. Put ice in your vase water. Change out the water every other day.

    This isn't just for valentines flowers, you can use them WHENEVER you get flowers. Sheesh. Btw, I did this with several of my flowers and it works!

      Thanks for the info on working. My fresh flowers didn't come with the packet you add to the vase water. So I'm here finding a solution to make them last.
      May I ask which one did you use? TIA
