TIL that old wives tale about putting a penny in a vase of flowers actually works
My grandma swore by it for years and I always rolled my eyes. Last month my tulips were drooping after 2 days so I tossed a 1982 penny in the water out of desperation. They perked up and lasted a full 9 days. Anyone else had random grandma hacks turn out to be legit?

That penny trick is just confirmation bias. Your flowers were probably already dying and you just happened to catch them at the right time. Copper doesn't do anything special for flowers, it's more likely you just changed the water or trimmed the stems without realizing it.
