with out sugar

that's not necessarily true, I've found that in cut lantana flowers, the plants will suffer at first but then last longer than the flowers without sugar. I think it varies from plant to plant.

Flowers last longer WITH sugar. Just as people last longer with food. The ideal floral solution is not "clean water", but in fact, a solution of sugars, a small quantity of acid, and ideally a bleach or other anti-microbial.

I have tested this numerous times.

Gingerale apparently works too. Consider though that gingerale is merely a sugar solution with added acids. (flavour)

Certain flowers, such as roses, also benefit from specific hormones- available in commercial flower foods such as "rose pro", or the flora-life equivalent "rose food".

Other flowers, such as Gerberas benefit from additional chorine bleach to help them absorb water and nutrients for a longer amount of time from the vase.

Why do sugar free mints last longer?

Sugar-free mints tend to last longer than regular mints because they often contain sugar substitutes, such as xylitol or sorbitol, which are more stable and have a lower tendency to absorb moisture. Additionally, sugar-free formulations typically use artificial or natural flavorings that can remain potent longer without the degradation associated with sugar. The absence of sugar also reduces the likelihood of crystallization, which can affect texture and longevity.
