    Here is what you'll need!
    SUPPLIES
    Sharp scissors
    Penny from before 1982
    Ice
    Vodka
    Lemon-lime soda
    INSTRUCTIONS
    1. Remove any leaves that will be underwater.
    2. Cut stems 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the bottom. Cut at a sharp angle underwater.
    3. Add a few drops of vodka to your vase water. Vodka helps slow wilting.
    4. Add ¼ cup of lemon-lime soda to your vase. This will help flowers last longer.
    5. Put a copper penny in your vase water. Copper acts as an acidifier to fight bacteria growth in the vase.
    5. Store flowers in the fridge overnight. The low temperature helps slow aging.
    6. Put ice in your vase water. Change out the water every other day.

    Lemon-lime soda works the best, I mix one part soda with two parts water. My guess is the acidity is just right and soda has fructose which plants love.
