Liquids to make flowers grow faster?

I'm doing a science fair project on what liquids (such as coffee, soda, orange juice, and water) make marigolds grow faster. I have to do a background research report with it and i can't find any websites or anything that talk about it. I need the sites. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liquids to make flowers grow faster?
Dear Bridget, I did the experiment with carnations to see how the flowers would live with different additives/liquids. My question was: What additive will help cut flowers live the longest. My results were: the flowers in grape Jell-O died first, then the flowers in water (control), then the flowers in water with an aspirin in it, then the flowers in 7-UP, and the flowers in the water with florist powder lived the longest (37 days!). My question is why did the flowers in the florist powder/water live the longest and what is in it?- Lauren - Tacoma, WA





Lauren, I'm thrilled to see your experiment worked well! Thirty-seven days is a great demonstration of how well those packets work when you buy fresh flowers and follow the directions. The florist packet is a commercially prepared floral preservative. This contains a (commercially kept secret) sugar source (either sucrose or glucose) and a biocide. A biocide is something that typically lowers the pH of the water and keeps bacteria and fungi from growing. They thrive in a sugar-water environment and clog the flower stem. - Bridget
