What is the best way to keep cut flowers fresh?

I am a Floral Designer..... Replacing the water every 2-3 days and triming a little of the stems is the best way. Your florist should have given you a flower packet of floral food to add to the water. If you did not receive one, go back and get one. This has special food made for flowers.

I seem to remember that adding a quarter of an asprin to the water does the trick! Goodness knows what deep recess that came from but it sounds reasonable

First, put a drop or two of ordinary househould bleach in the water in the vase, then make sure there are no leaves below the surface of the water. I have kept flowers fresh for two weeks by doing this.
Reply:Every other day change the water and trim 1/4" at a sharp angle. Only fill water to about 3" from the bottom as that will help preserve freshness. Add a 1/4 tsp of sugar or 1/2 an asprin (only asprin, not tylenol)
Reply:Trya few drops of peroxide.It givesoff oxygen. I use it in my houseplants.
