I love flower arrangements but I don't have flower packs, generally. So instead I use lemon lime soda. What I usually use,is Sprite or Mountain Dew. Do NOT use Diet! It is suppose to feed plants & keep the water clean. Sometimes I'll throw in an aspirin. I am not sure the exact formula to use but I usually use whatever I have about 70/30 soda to water. The Xmas tree is so thirsty I am not sure the sprite helps a whole bunch but every couple of days. What do you use?
Leland Cypress Xmas tree....almost a shame it was cut...
Mountain dew is green but some people don't like the color because they think the water looks dirty. I like it.
My two liter I use to feed the tree.

Good tip! I had heard of using asprin but the soda water is a new one to me!
In Norway it is common to use soda water for cut flowers, but not for your Christmas tree, instead we use plain water, lots of it, a tree taken inside can need up to several litres of water the first few days, but will need just a little thereafter.
