The right temperature, sunlight, and water. And soil.
To properly dissolve aspirin in water, you can simply drop the aspirin tablet into a glass of water and stir until it completely dissolves. The aspirin will dissolve faster if the water is warm.
In theory aspirin should work because it acidifies thewater enough to prevent the growth of bacteria in the water, which inreases the longevity but the change is too minorIN ADDITION:Just as aspirin makes a headache go away by making the blood vessels dialate by vasodialation, it also makes the fluid pathways from the lower portions of the stem dialate and allow fluids to pass upwards to the leaves and flowers. Therefore the upper parts of the cut flower get more water, stays hydrated and keeps its color longer. Jacore,Jazmine

Yes because it is nutrition for the flower. Florists offer food with sugar and other things to help them last longer. Sugar water does not work for regular plants though. It will clog their roots and stop as much water being absorbed.
Salt is used to absorb moisture from the flower, hence 'dried flower'. By absorbing the water, the rate of decomposition of the flower is significantly reduced allowing the dried flower to last longer.
