The Old Wives’ Tale That Really Works: “Drop a copper penny into the vase with your flowers to help keep them fresh for longer.”When it comes to keeping cut flowers looking fresh, the aim of all home remedies are to keep icky, slimy, sticky things from developing in the water. Where does the copper come in? It helps keep flowers alive because it naturally cleans your vase water. We’re making this home remedy even better by introducing our 100% copper charms, thicker and heavier than an old penny, and better looking, too. It is reusable, eco-friendly, and comes in a micro suede cloth bag for safe-keeping between uses. Rather than digging around for old pennies, get yourself our cute copper charm or give it as a gift to your flower loving friends. Note: You’ll actually be digging for really old pennies since any penny made AFTER 1982 is made with mostly zinc and contains less than 3% copper. We made sure that our charms are made of PURE copper. There are many products that are copper colored, but aren’t actually made of copper.Southern Living, Apartment Therapy, and Readers’ Digest all agree, copper is a smart way to keep flowers alive. And don’t just take our word for it, read our reviews. We recommend using one charm for small and medium vases and two charms for larger vases.
How does it work? Pure copper naturally releases trace copper ions that help keep slime from building up in your vase water – the gunk that clogs stems and makes cut flowers wilt early. Cleaner water means your roses, tulips, lilies and mixed bouquets keep drinking and stay fresh longer, with no powders required.
Use It With or Without Your Flower Food: The copper charm keeps the water clean; your flower food feeds the blooms – so they work perfectly together. Drop the charm in on its own, or add a packet of flower food or floral preservative alongside it for both the clean water and the nutrients in a single vase. Most flower lovers use both.
Real Copper, Not Copper-Colored: Made from 100% pure solid copper – thicker and heavier than a penny – not the plated or brass look-alikes that barely contain any real copper. Pure copper is what keeps vase water clear, so you get a fresh-flower charm that genuinely works and looks beautiful sitting in any glass vase.
One Charm Replaces Dozens of Packets: Instead of tearing open a new powder packet for every bouquet, just rinse the copper charm and reuse it for years. It’s a cleaner, lower-waste way to care for fresh cut flowers – no measuring, no powders, no sticky residue clouding the bottom of your vase.
Drop It In and You’re Done: No measuring, no mixing, no mess. Place the copper charm in a clean vase of fresh water, add your flowers, and refresh the water every few days – wipe the charm now and then to keep it working. It’s the simplest flower-care step you’ll ever add to your routine.
For Every Bouquet: Roses, tulips, lilies, carnations, hydrangeas, peonies, sunflowers, wildflowers – if it goes in a vase, the copper charm helps. Use it in any vase. One reusable charm covers every arrangement, all year, from grocery-store bunches to florist bouquets.
A Solid Copper Charm That Arrives Gift-Ready: This is a substantial, tactile piece of pure copper – not a flimsy token – and it comes tucked in a soft micro-suede keepsake pouch. That makes it a thoughtful gift for flower lovers, Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day or a housewarming. Choose a single charm, or a multi-pack if you keep flowers in more than one vase.
The Trick Experts Keep Recommending: Southern Living, Apartment Therapy and Reader’s Digest have all highlighted copper as a smart, natural way to help cut flowers last longer. Precious Petal Co. turns that time-tested tip into an easy, reusable copper charm you’ll reach for every time you bring fresh flowers home.
