Why you should put Viagra in flower water…

Would you have thought that? Viagra not only ensures a longer erection in men, but also contributes to prolonged pleasure in the plant world – cut flowers, for example, are said to stay fresh longer in water thanks to Viagra.

Thanks to Viagra, cut flowers stay fresh longer

Granted, Viagra in flower water is an unusual method for extending the shelf life of cut flowers – but it probably works.

Viagra, originally developed to treat erectile dysfunction, contains the active ingredient sildenafil. This ingredient affects blood vessels by promoting their dilation. This effect is said to also benefit cut flowers, because Viagra improves the water supply and thus keeps them fresh for longer.

This is the amount Viagra cut flowers need

Apparently, you only need to dissolve half a Viagra tablet in floral water to keep cut flowers fresh for longer. By the way: This unusual practice is not recommended by florists or gardeners. But if you like flowers, it might be worth a try.
