The powder commonly used to keep cut flowers fresh in a vase is often a mixture of sugar, bleach, and a floral preservative. Sugar provides nourishment for the flowers, while bleach helps prevent bacterial growth in the water. Some commercial floral preservatives also contain citric acid to help lower the pH of the water, improving water uptake. These ingredients work together to extend the lifespan of cut flowers.
