Holy shit his voice is annoying.

There's no reason this needed to be seven minutes long.

TL;DR - plant food or some pennies

To keep flowers fresh for a longer period, a combination of techniques can be employed. First, ensure the flowers are in a clean vase with fresh water. Change the water every two to three days to keep it clean and bacteria-free. For best results, use lukewarm water, which helps the flowers absorb water more efficiently. Cutting the stems at a 45-degree angle and removing any leaves that fall below the water line can also help. This reduces the chance of leaves rotting in the water and affecting the flowers. Adding a homemade flower food mixture to the water can provide the necessary nutrients for the flowers. A common recipe includes mixing 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and a half teaspoon of bleach into a quart of water. The sugar feeds the flowers, the lemon juice balances the water's pH level, and the bleach helps to keep the water clean. Lastly, keeping flowers away from direct sunlight and heat sources can prolong their freshness. A cool, stable temperature is ideal for flower longevity.

My body is a flower temple. I will start consuming flower food and pennies exclusively.

In college we did a similar experiment but with potted plants, not cut stems. We watered some with water and others with vodka. Vodka plants turned out much better!

This was frustrating to watch.

Copper for the win!!
