Whether in spring or summer - a bouquet of flowers brings freshness and color into the house.
If it weren't for the stinking water in the vase.
Find out how to get rid of it here.
A large bouquet of flowers is always a good idea.
In summer it is a nice surprise for friends at the barbecue or a flowery decoration on the dining table on the terrace or balcony.
But all too quickly the flowers in the vase fade and wither and what remains is stinking, cloudy vase water.
So that garden fans can enjoy their cut flowers longer, the flower water must stay fresh longer.
Smelly flower water: This will keep your vase water fresh longer
Even picked cut flowers from the garden make you happy, because gardeners use them to recognize the success of their caring care.
It is best for plant fans to cut the cut flowers in the morning.
However, the flowers usually do not survive long in a vase.
But
the flowers should hold out for
more than
a day or two
before they wilt.
A few tricks will help keep the flower water clean and the flowers alive.
Just a few basic tips will help you avoid smelly flower water.
Even if it is annoying, gardening enthusiasts have to
renew
the
flower water every day
.
This will minimize the risk of the flower stems starting to rot.
It is also important that the vase is completely clean before the flowers find their new place there.
Bacterial residues promote putrefaction and make the water stink faster.
It is also helpful to cut the stems at an angle each time.
This means that the cut flowers always have a fresh spot to take in water.
Garden enthusiasts should cut soft stems, like those of the tulips, straight.

A piece of
charcoal
in the water
helps better
.
Charcoal manages to bundle unpleasant odors and thus prevent them from escaping to the outside.
However, it is not very effective to put sugar or washing-up liquid in the flower vase.
Sugar
is a wonderful breeding ground for bacteria and thus fuels the stench.
Detergent is also harmful to cut flowers because it is poisonous for most plants.
