How to prolong the life of rosesWhat is the price for thisThe study was undertaken by scientists from Holland - a country that can be considered a leader in flower exports, which is not surprising. But the results of the experiment were sensational. It turned out that the most effective way to extend the life of flowers is drinks like Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite and other sweet sodas. When these newly-minted "means for extending the life of cut plants" were added to water, they lasted much longer. Most likely, the flowers liked the high content of sugar and acids. Moreover, it should be noted that the plants did not like the low-calorie Coca-Cola Lite at all. On the contrary, only full-fledged Coca-Cola has an effect. Source: Flower Grower's Herald.
