I hope you enjoy it! To learn more, you can visit my website and see the blog post about this, too. Let me know in the comments what you do to keep your flowers lasting longer!

Best video I’ve seen on this topic!! Thank you!
Great tips! I just got a beautiful arrangement for my birthday, and will definitely use some of these. At our last house, Ernie ate all of the fiddleheads, hostas (about 3), lillies, and different types of grass. This dog has nine lives. He never got sick from them, thankfully.
Happy belated!!! Sad I can't say the same about the kitties...flowers do not like them.
Tried the apple cider method!! Amazing!! Hats off Melissa. Your tips and ideas never disappoint. Thank you. Just to let you know I tried this on already few days old flowers and it kept them going for a week after that. I used to always fill cold water from the tap and the luke warm water tip with apple cider vinegar just worked wonders!! Keep them coming. Love your videos. Have your amazing book next goal is the makers cleaning cloths!! :)
OMG! I got a beautiful surprise flower bouquet 💐 from someone special today.My cat didn’t pay any attention at first, but then she noticed the skinny, wispy, pointed greenery sticking out, and
started playing & swatting at it. Then she started trying to taste it. I pulled it all out & it’s still a beautiful arrangement. Luckily, she doesn’t seem to be interested in the flowers!
OMW, I learnt such a lot with this video, thank you for the great tips
Greetings from Port Elizabeth, South Africa
I'm so glad to hear!!
Yes, I am currently & have been owned by 2 cats for the last 20 years (gulp!) I too do not keep fresh flowers around because cats love to eat them. With my first 2 cats I tried them with cat grass and they devoured it within minutes each time. Fun to watch but not clean up afterwards lol Love your videos !! Watch them over and over. Keep 'm coming!
Awesome video! I just need some tips on keeping flower fresh for an event and this shows up in my newsfeed :D
Perfect!!!
Just worked more than brilliant
Great great tips. My cat always wants to pull the flowers out of the case when she sees them. But luckily she doesn't get any kind of reaction.
Thanks for your tips!! Can you use brown sugar?
great advice for us guys that want to be the hero.. lol. thanks
You got it!
Our cats eat flowers too. They always tip the vase over and spill the water so I never keep flowers and I almost dread getting them.... They also have taste for chives and parsley!
Hi Melissa and Chad, leaves and petals below the water line begin to rot immediately and raise the bacteria level. I also boil the water, let it cool to the right temp and cut stems under water to prevent air from getting into stem. Embolisms aren't good for flora or fauna.
Does brown cane sugar work ?
How do you change the water without causing an air block in the stem?
You look beautiful as flowers thanks lol
Omg your intro is great and good video.
Thanks!
Like if you agree!
Thank you!
Great video. You may want to change "My Mourning Routine" to "My Morning Routine" at 7:20 on this video.
Yes - done. Thank you! Def. not mourning...
How often do you change the water with home recipe in the vase? Should the flowers & leaves be sprayed with water? How often ?
I change the water every 2 or 3 days at the latest. Always wash the vase each time you change the water and trim the bottom of the stems. You have to remove the bacteria that sticks to the inside of the vase. I can get my flowers to last at least 3-4 weeks, when I do this..
I don't have live flowers at my house because of my cats. When I had flowers I used to put in the water some aspirin (1 tablet per 4L of water). Also it can be sprayed over. It is known to desestress plants. In fact most plants make their own salicylic acid to protect themselves, it improves their immune system.
That's very interesting - wow!
Hi I want to know how you get the content what to say in your videos ? Do you do your research ? Do you have people helping you
I'm so relieved to know my cat isn't the only one who eats flowers!!!
NOPE you can always come to me for silly cat things.
hahaha… My cat is an Olympic athlete. I have found nothing high enough to keep her from getting to whatever she wants if she’s curious enough! LOL
my chihuahua loves lantana flowers
That's a very particular affinity!
I have a parrot who eats my flowers 💐🌸
Why does she not have profile picture
Hey i don't mean cut flowers here.... i do mean flowers in my garden..
Is that a new intro? I think it's great!
Thank you - yes it is!!
My cat does not eat flowers, but drinks vase water.....

This is what happened the moment I put down the flowers I got last time. My cats, Junior and Marley, attempts to eat flowers too😅
I disagree every other day
