Answer
Yes, apple cider vinegar can be used to help revive wilting flowers. Here’s how it works:
-
Hydration: The vinegar can help lower the pH of the water, making it easier for the flowers to absorb it, which aids in hydration.
-
Nutrients: Vinegar contains trace amounts of nutrients that can benefit the flowers.
How to use it:
- Mix 1 part apple cider vinegar with 3 parts water.
- Place the wilted flowers in the mixture for a few hours or overnight.
- After soaking, place them in fresh water.
This method can temporarily perk up wilted flowers, but keep in mind that it's best used for flowers that have just started to wilt. Severe wilting may require other care methods.
