Orange Juice will keep cut flowers alive only for a short time. The sugars in the orange juice will become a source of food for bacteria which will begin to clog the stem of the flower and not allow it to take in the water for its needs.

Orange juice is slightly acidic as is contains citric acid. Some flowers enjoy an acidic soil condition and many do not. Too much acid will kill most anything but a little bit won't hurt.

Beyond this observation you must recognize you have wasted perfectly tasty and nourishing orange juice.

Probably not. Orange juice is very acidic and would most likely kill most plants. Plants also require other things like trace elements, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. The last three are the most important and the major useful components of fertilizers. Known in short ast N-P-K, the ratio of each varies depending on the requirements of the plants and the condition of the soil.

Orange juice is acidic, and the acidity of the juice can lower the soil's natural pH. A lot of plants require a certain pH range, but tropical plants should love the orange juice.

The problem with using juice to water your plants is that the sugar can attract unwanted insects, which can inhibit your plant's growth, as well as harm them.

How are flowers pollinated?

They get blown away by the wind, get carried from flower to flower by a bee or butterfly, and some flowers have female flowers and male flowers and they reproduce then when pollen gets stuck on to the pistil. I think flowers are pollinated because everything is a circle of life. For example, flowers and plants need bugs to help pollinate them or they will die. Bugs need pollen because without it they will die. If bugs were to no longer exist, then plants will no longer exist. If plants don't exist, we (humans) eventually will no longer exist as well.

What is a sweet juice produce by flowers?

Nectar is the sweet liquid that's found in flowers. It's what attracts pollinators such as bats, bees, beetles, butterflies, and hummingbirds to flowers. In exchange for getting hydrated, the pollinators help flower varieties to survive by spreading pollen over an area wider than the immediate one in which the particular flower is found.
