Valentine's Day.But if you're anything like us, it can be a struggle to keep the beautiful blooms alive.Thankfully, there's a handy hack that stops petals falling so quickly.In the Mrs Hinch Cleaning Tips group on Facebook, a savvy user revealed you can use 2p coins to increase the longevity of flowers.Simply pop a few coppers in the bottom of your vase and jobs a good'un.The Facebook user shared a snap of their bouquet, explaining: “These are nearly 2 weeks old, with a 2p in the bottom! Definitely works.”Another agreed: “Works for me.”The Conversation says copper coins can be antimicrobial, which may be why they can be used to keep flowers looking freshly-picked.It explains: “Cut flowers begin to degrade almost instantly. Air and bacteria can block the small pores of the vascular system of plants, stopping vital water and food from being distributed around the flower, and they start to wilt.“So by reducing the microorganisms in the flower’s water you should be able to increase the life of your flowers.“So again, in theory, the copper in coins might be able to kill bacteria and keep cut flowers fresh."This isn't the only way to keep your flowers looking tip-top.Others shared their words of advice in the Facebook group, including sticking a needle in the stem below the buds.Apparently, this helps the buds to stand up straighter.Others recommend cutting the stems at an angle before placing them in water with plant food.Doing this is said to help the bouquet absorb more water and nutrients.

Rio Ferdinand claims Pep Guardiola is 'holding his middle finger up' to all his Premier League doubters as Manchester City continue to dominate.The Spaniard's side currently find themselves comfortably atop the Premier League's standings, nine points clear of nearest challengers Liverpool, having only played one game more.Since losing at home to Crystal Palace in late October, City have won 14 of their 15 league matches, only dropping points in a 1-1 draw at Southampton.Going into the season, many questioned whether Guardiola's team would be able to retain the Premier League title, especially given their lack of a recognised striker.Sergio Aguero departed for Barcelona last summer and City failed in their well-documented pursuit of Tottenham's Harry Kane, which led to many fearing the Sky Blues wouldn't have enough in attack.However, City have managed to hit a league-high 61 goals so far this season, the same amount as Liverpool, as their efforts have been spread around the team.Given their sheer dominance, Ferdinand believes Guardiola has silenced his doubters and essentially "put his middle finger up" to the rest of the Premier League.Can anyone stop Manchester City from winning the Premier League title again this season? Give us your thoughts in the comments section. “Points-wise it’s not over, but I just believe that City look too comfortable in their games," the former Manchester United defender admitted in the latest episode of Rio Ferdinand Presents FIVE. "City look like they're in total control all the time."There's no topsy-turvey games or moments where you go 'oh my god they're on the ropes they're going to get beat here'.
