Yes

Yes, you are correct. Sugar can indeed help prolong the life of cut flowers. When flowers are cut from their source of nutrients, they will eventually wilt and die. However, providing them with a sugar solution can help mimic the nutrients they would receive from the plant they were originally attached to, and keep them fresher for a longer period of time.

To make a sugar solution for your cut flowers, you can follow these steps:

1. Start with a clean vase and fill it with lukewarm water. The warm water helps the stems take up water more easily.

2. Measure out 2 tablespoons of regular table sugar and add it to the vase. Stir the mixture well to dissolve the sugar completely.

3. If you have it available, you can also add a few drops of bleach to the water. This helps to keep the water clean by preventing the growth of bacteria.

4. Trim the stems of your cut flowers at an angle. This increases the surface area for water absorption.

5. Place the flowers in the vase with the sugar solution, making sure all cut ends are submerged. Keep the vase in a cool location away from direct sunlight and drafts.

Remember to change the water and sugar solution every two to three days to keep the flowers fresh for as long as possible.
