  • Better results

    You would have much better results if you simply added your salts to some methyl alcohol in a watch glass and ignite it. Cesium, if you can afford the chloride, gives a very deep blue.

    • no need

      There is no point in testing more elements since most of them burns without any distinguishable color.

    And your fire was too tense to show proper colors of the elements (hence you didn't have bright natrium, purple Kalium etc). Lithium was okey, though.

    That was about as much fun as watching paint dry.
