Is there something else that can be added to further preserve them?

Yes. You could mix lemon-lime soda, bleach and water together. You could also put crushed aspirin and a penny in your vase, or add mouthwash and water to your vase.

Question

Is there something else that can be added to flowers to further preserve them?

Community Answer

There are various sprays and glazes, some specifically made for flower preservation, but these would typically be applied after a drying or treatment process for an added aesthetic boost. A method of more permanent preservation requires some additional and more involved steps, but I believe you might find more information if you explore preserving "in" (glycerin) as opposed to "with" glycerin.
