Can orange juice help cut flowers last longer?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

Yes, a small amount of orange juice can help cut flowers last longer by providing nourishment and inhibiting bacterial growth. However, it is important to dilute the orange juice with water to prevent mold and bacteria from developing. Additionally, changing the mixture every few days can further extend the life of the flowers.
