Which viral flower hack do you think would be best? Were you surprised by the results? Welcome to our annual flower experiment where we try viral floral hacks to see which performs best. We’ve used the pin pack method for years and it seems to work the best to prolong the blooming period by a little bit. The pin prick is theorized to allow air flow in the hallow stem allowing for air to escape. This allows the bloom to stay upright. The copper penny is my favourite method. Copper is a natural fungicide so the copper penny naturally kills any bacteria and fungi in the vase. At the end you’ll see that the copper penny water was the clearest. For those who don’t have pennies minted before 1982, you can also use any copper item like a copper fitting. The vodka shot is a new addition to our annual tulip experiment. It’s sad that a 1/4 tsp of vodka in your vase will help kill bacteria. I found that the tulips were extra thirsty and drained the water the fastest. It did work for the first week to kill bacteria but the copper penny did a better job. Last was the flower food which provides sugar to feed your flower. This resulted in the fastest blooming bouquet that also lasted the shortest amount of time. At the end there was mold growing in the water. The control group had the murkiest water but no mold which might be surprising to some. In the end, the pin prick method is the crowning winner for three years in a row for longest bloom. I think it’s because they also prevented the flower to bloom later than the rest. The copper penny worked the best in keeping the water clean. Let me know which method you’ll try in your next bouquet of tulips. What flower experiment should we try next? #flowerlovers #timelapse #tulips #flowers #flowertok

This video conducts an experiment on five different methods to prolong the life of tulips, including a control group, pin prick, penny drop, vodka shot, and flower food. It shows the setup, then a time-lapse of the flowers blooming, and finally reveals the results for bloom longevity and water clarity.
