This really extended the life of flowers.

Works as it should! Takes your flower bouquets to the next level

You use this as a dip, undiluted, to the end of the flower right after you trim it. It opens up the cells and helps them absorb water. Then you place the flower quickly into clean water, preferably with some floral preservative. That helps the water stay fresh because it has anti-bacterial elements and food for the freshly cut flowers to keep the flowers and foliage looking perky and maintain the color. If you recut the flower tips, and redip, and put in fresh water every so often you can extend the life of your expensive and gorgeous flowers a long time. It depends on the variety and freshness of what you began with, but two weeks isn’t unusual instead of the four or five days. If you have long-lived flowers like alstroemerias or mums, you might grow tired of them! Don’t forget to trim any leaves that are going to be below the water line because they will rot and spoil the water.

I use this on all my fresh cut flowers. It definitely makes them last longer!

Favorite Item for fresh flowers. Keeps them hydrated and fresh for the rest of the day if not place in water for couple of hours. You can also drop an amount mix with water when placed on vase.

My daughter's wedding was Saturday evening, and we made the bouquets and memory table floral-ringed lantern that morning. The flowers and greenery were bulk floral purchases from membership big-box stores, and they arrived Tuesday and Wednesday before the wedding. As they arrived, we trimmed the stems and placed them in buckets with water + FloraLife Flower Food Powder according to the directions on the jar. At first the water was cloudy after stirring, but after a few minutes it became clear. The morning of the wedding, we prepared a deep pot with fresh water + FloraLife powder (if you're doing a lot of florals buy a second jar of FloraLife Flower Food powder--we needed two jars; it went fast). We soaked bouquet holders that had wet floral foam centers and 6-inch wet floral foam disks in the pot, one at a time. Before inserting each stem into the soaked foam we dipped them in FloraLife Quick Dip 100 for one second. It was extremely easy to dip the stems as we went along, and there's still plenty of Quick Dip left even after dipping hundreds of stems (you'll probably just need one bottle). After the bouquets and centerpieces were completed, they were sprayed with FloraLife Crowning Glory Solution. They looked pretty wet at first but dried quickly. I suggest spraying Crowning Glory outside or over a protected surface because there is overspray. Even though we did a lot of arrangements, we've still got plenty of Crowning Glory left in the one bottle we bought. We were worried that some of the heavier stems would fall out as the bride and her attendants walked down the aisle, so Oasis Floral Adhesive was applied a few hours before the ceremony. The tube was easy to squeeze and wiggle in the arrangements to where the stems met the wet foam. The glue was clear and a little runny (have a paper towel on hand), but we were able to make quick work of securing the larger flowers in the bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets; the adhesive dried within an hour. Not a flower fell during the entire evening or the days after, so the Oasis Floral Adhesive did it's job. I'm not sure which product or products we owe our phenomenal success to, but wow, it's over three days later and the bridal bouquet, bridesmaid's bouquet, and centerpiece we brought home still look great! They've had nothing else done to them, not even water added to the floral foam; we just have them displayed on tables in the house (see photos). They look as fresh as when we made them over 80 hours ago. Can't overstate how well the products worked for us, and if we had to do it over again, we would confidently get the florals finished the day before the wedding to give us more time for other items on our to-do list the day of the wedding.

I had a fresh, beautiful hydrangea on Saturday. I brought it home in a vase, but forgot to replenish the water until Sunday, when it had begun to droop. I put water in the vase, and Sunday evening, it was alive, but not well. By Monday, it was near death, but instead of throwing it out, I decided to order this product and try it. On Tuesday, I cut and dipped the stem and replaced the flower into its vase (same water). By Wednesday, it looked almost as perfect as it had when I first saw the flower. A near miracle!
