Actually, a combination of substances would work best. First, sugar should be added to the water as an energy or "food" source for the flowers. Second, an antibacterial such as bleach or mouthwash should be included to prevent harmful bacteria from growing in the water. Third, an acidic substance such as aspirin, vinegar, or lemon juice should be included to reduce the pH level in the water. The little powder packets provided by florists contain a sugar, acid and antibacterial mix. One should also use lukewarm water rather than cold water when cutting the stems and filling the vase.
