That seems to happen because of bacteria clogging the stems from my knowledge. I would give the stems a fresh cut 1-2” before putting them in water and putting them in hot water. That has worked with other flowers so worth a try. But also, buy from a local grower/farmers market if you can and quality will usually be much better
I’ve used hot water for hellebores and dahlias to hydrate them faster and it’s worked. It’s worth a shot. Also add an ounce or two of sprite or 7up in the vase of water to provide sugar and citric acid to kill bacteria.
No they do help a little, it’s just sugar and antimicrobial. But it’s basically the same thing as sprite so I tell people just use lemon lime soda instead of buying flower food packets
