Hi, this is Yolanda Vanveen, and in this section we're going to talk about how does aspirin
prolong the life of cut flowers? Now, I love cut flowers in the house. They're so beautiful,
and they smell, ah they smell so good, and they're such a joy to have in the house. And
there's different ways that you can prolong their life, and there's lots of different
theories, but my theory in the end is giving your flowers water is just like giving yourself
water. You can have fresh water, or you can have chlorinated water, or you can have sugar
water, or you can have pop, or you can have any type of beverage that you like, but in
the end the best water for us is pure, clean water. So, by using aspirin you're just stopping
the water from getting mucky. By adding aspirin you're stopping the water from going bad,
and it's just like adding chlorine, or adding anything else that's going to stop the water
from turning murky. I could have chlorinated water or I could have fresh water, and my
choice would be fresh water. So, in the end I have found with my cut flowers by taking
the flowers out, and cutting the stems a couple inches every few days, and adding fresh water
you can prolong the life of the flowers much longer than any other method.
