I don't pretend to be an expert, but botritis is either a fungal or
bacterial infection. It's not deadly to the plant, but ruins the flowers.
Generally comes from water spots on the flowers.

What is botritis??

I don't cut orchid inflors off a plant unless I see botritis, which
happens
to my white Phals now and then. At those times I've used sugar, but
honestly I don't know if it made a difference.

Here I go to mess up the simple answer. I have used both. Roses
seem
to
like aspirin. Carnations prefer sugar. Gardenias just don't care!

Does anyone know what to add to cut flowers (water) to help
them
last
longer? Is it aspirin or sugar?
Thanks in advance, sorry for being off topic
