Cut flowers
are still alive.

Thirsty, and short on food

The science

Thirsty, and short on food

A cut stem keeps drinking, but bacteria in the water clog it. Clean water, a fresh cut and slightly acidic food keep it drinking longer.

The maker

Arber

Plant care made
from biology.

Arber builds its range from living things: bacteria that guard leaves, a plant extract that wakes up a plant's own defenses, and nutrients from produce that would otherwise have been thrown away. Its sprays use the same kinds of actives commercial growers rely on, registered with the EPA.

We carry it because its sprays can share a plant with our bugs when the timing is right, and every Arber page here gives you that timing.

Before you order

Your questions, answered

Something else? Ask Toby in the chat, bottom right.

Why do flowers need sugar?

A cut flower has lost most of the leaves and roots that fed it. Sugar keeps the bloom opening and holding color.

Why acid?

Slightly acidic water moves up stems more easily.

The mistake most people make

Adding food but keeping old water. Change the water every couple of days, recut the stems at an angle, and add a fresh dose each time.

More about Fresh Cut Flower Food

Arber Fresh Cut Flower Food goes in the vase water. It carries a little sugar, which a cut flower can no longer make enough of on its own, and acidifiers that help the stems keep drinking.

Add the capful measure on the bottle when you fill the vase, and refresh it when you change the water.
