It's an old trick florists use. That's why cut flowers are in refrigerated boxes in the store. The flowers will stay fresh a really long time.

You can store them longer but not recommended. Do not store at room temps you will kill them all you are trying to do is slow down there metabolism long enough to use them in the future. I hope this helps.
thx people!++ heres somthing i found too http://www.growkind.com/forum/showth...d=1#post190825
I'm not sure that I would use ice though. It seems like some parts of the cutting may actually get frost bite if they come in contact with the ice for too long. My refrigerator is colder in one spot in the back, and I assume this is not uncommon. My fridge is set pretty cold and will slightly freeze liquid if I keep it in that cold spot. I would just put the cuttings near there, and they should stay pretty much the same as if you put ice in with the cuttings. If stuff doesn't freeze in the cold spot, I would put the cuttings there.
But hey, I've never tried it. If you're sure the ice isn't damaging the plant at all, don't fix it if it aint broke.
Well in my opinion at 34 to 38 degrees which is what I keep my produce cooler at work at I can store fresh mint and rosemary cutting in a vase of water for 3 to 5 weeks never had a problem I think that it may workone to one and half months no more But I am just a chef so I never tried with clones .
