This stuff is awesome and the price is right. I will no doubt have this bucket around for the next decade or so. Bought this to use when DIYing the flowers for my mom’s funeral. I also bought the spray to seal the surface of finished arrangements which I still have most of left and the dipping liquid to seal the cut ends of the big headed flowers like roses. The first 3 pics are @ funeral home 1 day after buying & arranging, pic 4 & 5 are @ 3 days, pic 6 is @ 10 days out, & final pic is 23 days after purchase and arrangement & that arrangement is still going strong today @ day 28.This product has helped me keep my Costco cut flowers alive for weeks.
