Keep Flowers Fresh Longer With Aspirin
by Jonas Blake on Jun.07, 2010, under Life Upgrade
If you are anything like me, you have never, ever, ever had a vase full of flowers in your house.
On the other hand, not many people are like me…
In any case, if you do on occasion keep cut flowers in a vase, this is a great article from Lifehacker about how to keep the flowers fresh longer.
If you don’t feel like reading it, the gist is this: if you crush a few aspirin tablets up with the back of a spoon and dump the powder in the water with the flowers, the aspirin will keep bacteria from growing in the water, which will keep the flowers fresh longer.
Have fun!
