The fact that this study was undertaken by scientists from Holland – a country that can be considered a leader in the export of flowers – is not surprising. But the results of the experiment were sensational. It turned out that the most effective way to extend the life of cut flowers is through drinks like Coca-cola, Fanta, Sprite and other sugary sodas.
When added to the water, these new “cut crop lifespan” were added to the water to last much longer. Most likely, the flowers tasted high in sugar and acids.
Moreover, it should be noted that the plants did not like Coca-cola Lite with a reduced calorie content at all. On the contrary, only full-fledged Coca-cola has an effect.
