How to make your fresh flowers last for longer
There are also a few easy hacks that will ensure your stunning bouquet stays fresh for longer, and one of them involves using a common cleaning product.
According to savvy TikTok fans, the answer is simple - just a little dash of regular household bleach; a totally bonkers trick that is also all the rage in the florist community, with saying it's a ''good'' idea to add one-quarter teaspoon of bleach to one litre of water in your vase.
The reason is pretty simple - bacteria.
''Bacteria will start to grow in the water, turning it cloudy, smelly, and shortening the lifespan of the cut flowers you just obtained.
''What bleach actually does to bacteria is it causes them to unfold and stick to each other.
''After they stick to each other they stop being able to function, and then they die.''

The best way to keep your lovely flowers lasting for as long as possible is to change the water every few days, the gurus noted.
Simply empty the vase, fill it with fresh water, add a bit of bleach, optional sugar (which acts as food for the blooms), cut up to an inch off the stems and then place the flowers back into the vase.
