Keeping flowers looking fresh can be a tricky task, but when you get a bouquet that look sparse, it might not look so great.
Taking to TikTok, Arooj Nasir also known as @aroojnasir66, shared her handy hack online showing how you can make flowers look fuller. And it takes just seconds to do.

In her video, she said: "Did you know by adding a wee bit of that [bleach] into your water, it keeps your flowers up to a week and a half to two weeks longer. I know they last
