Why does changing the water in a vase extend the life of cut flowers?

I don’t understand why flowers last longer if you change the water every day but fall apart if they are left in a full vase of water from yesterday. Are they removing nutrients from the water?

They take oxygen out of the water, once that’s gone the water doesn’t have anything it needs and also begins to become gross, gross water is toxic and also hurts the flowers.

It’s essentially like soda going flat.

Some plants can survive in water entirely so long as it’s kept fresh. If you’d like to learn more about that you want to be looking up ‘propagation’.
