🌼🐾 Does Flower Food Really Work? 🐾🌼
Short answer: Yes! Flower food is like a power‐up for your bouquet, helping blooms stay vibrant and fresh longer. Here’s the scoop on what’s inside and how to use it:
1. Sugar 🍭 – Feeds petals so they keep opening up and looking their best.
2. Acidifier 🍋 – Lowers the pH of the water, helping stems drink more easily.
3. Biocide 🚫🦠 – Fights off bacteria and fungi that cloud the water and make stems clog up.
How & When to Use:
• Right when they arrive: Trim 1–2” off each stem at a 45° angle under running water.
• Mix it in: Stir the packet into a clean vase of cold water.
• Refresh often: Change the water (and add new flower food) every 2–3 days, re‑trimming stems each time.
💡 Pro tip: Skip flower food only if you love swapping water daily (and even then, your blooms will thank you for the extra boost!).
