With bleach a base and lemon and acid it seems there is a reaction of
canceling each other out possible?

I use a similar homemade preservative, but the ratio is different:
3 cups warm water
1 tablespoon sugar (the feed)
1 teaspoon vinegar (it acidifies the water so that flowers take it up
faster)
1/4 teaspoon bleach (to keep bacteria from growing & gumming up the stems)
